Hi
I recently got the beautiful SHW mod running again on my WIN 7 x64 PC (lost count of how often I had to re-install/ adjust compatibility/ bang my head against the wall...) and now I have the following problem. Starting game -> all normal Main Menu -> all normal Single Player -> Skirmish -> choose map etc. -> start skirmish -> get my workers going -> start construction -> suddendly all my workers die/ buildings explode -> "you have been defeated" WTH? The AI seems to work fine (getting bases up etc.). Never experienced this problem on my previous PC (Vista). Any ideas? I'd greatly apreciate your help! Thx Tarvitz Additional Info: ZH 1.04 SHW 1.01 |

reinstall your game thats a anti piracy measure because EA thinks you have a false copy.

Thanks for the fast reply! I re-installed and used the key from my original CD -> still the same error.
Is there another reason for this? Might have to buy C&C: TFD if there is absolutely no other way... Thx Tarvitz |

Try another CD key for your game, just use google to find a few and see if that helps. A while ago I messed with my CD key in the registry that also caused this issue. Kept changing keys then suddenly everything was fine again.

After uinstall clear all registry ZH entries. install game in different location (Program files\C&C Generals instead of Program files\EA Games\C&C Generals). Delete Zh setting in mydocuments folder . |

I tried several different keys, no luck.
Deleted the ZH setting in mydocuments, and any old folders still left after de-installation, nope. Tried a different installation path with custom folder on (C:), no go. I'm not sure how to clear the ZH registry entries after the game is deinstalled. Where can I usually find these "left-overs" if I used the regular installation path (Program files)? Does anyone know more about the way a "piracy" warning is triggered in ZH? My original key should be fine after all. Very strange. Thx Tarvitz |

Open Start menu, type Regedit into the text box, press Enter.
On the new window, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Electronic Arts/EA Games/Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour - delete that folder. --------------------     AS Discord server: https://discord.gg/7aM7Hm2 | SWR Community Discord https://discord.gg/REcbv37 QUOTE ComradeCrimson: AS is the product of Hungarian acid ComradeCrimson: And magical hussars Dutchygamer: and Weird Al.

Thx for all the advice! SHW is now working. Seems to be quite a complicated issue with the key and piracy error.
Very interesting debate and procedure here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Command-Conquer-T...alid/td-p/70478 (if posting this link is against forum rules please let me know and I will delete it) Thx Tarvitz |
