It's EA's copy protection for the game. You either:

1. Failed to crack the game properly
2. Copied the ZH folder from a different computer

A proper reinstall/crack should fix it.

All the Units blow up as a copy protection feature? Got to hand to EA on this one, that's pretty clever.

Actually that's Westwood's idea before they closed, it was used in Red Alert 2.

Well, that's how I got some of my games but seriously don't endorse game piracy, it hurt's the gaming industry.

Vandal, that is why. ISOs can sometimes mess the game up.
