So

i have Vista 32 bit. Not even sure if it can run on Vista? Anyways, i

used the same disk i used before to run Shockwave so i should have the

1.04 patch covered. I installed shockwave 95 and the 951 patch. When it

asked me what folder to put it in i selected the ZH folder under TFD

because the other ZH folder was empty.

So the first menu comes up and i select launch or whatever and it

brings up the ZH thing and then the Shockwave thing and then it does

nothing.

Please help. I miss this game so much.

...keeping your cool perhaps?
Anyway, you can consult the threads at the Support forum as Centric said.

Nah, no attitude. I have just posted a few times other places as well and no one said a thing. Frustrating since i really want to play again.

Well, i clicked the Shockwave launcher not the ZH one and it did as i said, Start thing came up and then nothing happened.

Here is a picture link to the my ZH folder http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/9269/zhpic.jpg

I do appreciate the help. I am just very to the point and dont use forums a whole lot.

I will direct you to this advice. Anything beyond this has never happened to me.

From the Moddb page:

NOTE: Get support at the offsite forums instead. Before you ask, remember this: try a clean install first. (After the uninstall, MAKE SURE to delete the Zero Hour folder)
- The install order is for the latest version is: Gen. > ZH > ZH 1.04 patch > ShW v0.95 > ShW v.0951 patch
* If you're using The First Decade, you need not install the 1.04 patch as TFD comes with it.

As a fellow TFD user, I can tell you that errors like this happens from time to time, and TFD is a bitch to uninstall/reinstall.

Good luck.

And by the way, post this in the ShW Support subforum instead, in the future.

Edit: Your zh folder looks normal enough offhand, but a full install should fix things. Have you tried running vZH to test if everything still works normally there?

Yea, I'll just try redoing it all again. I did it before and i think last time the problem was with the folders or something.

I believe my cousin was able to play ZH. I need to delete the bastard ZH folder thats useless you think?

Thanks for the assistance hopefully itll work next time.

The ZH folder you need to delete is the one in C://>Program Files>EA Games>Command and Conquer The First Decade>Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour. The purpose of this is to delete any random junk files in there that are screwing with the game. Also, a no-CD patch works wonders. Try it sometime.

His folder is fine.

The problem is most likely with Vista permissions.
You NEED to run the launcher as administrator.
