/embarrased... thought he was on about C&C3 since its gonna be out on fri.

Well i doubt its vista 64 is support coz A) generals is out years and B) C&C 3 is out one day now and its doesn't support vista 64bit

C&c3 is not supported wiht vista 64bit but it runs just fine.

I seem to remember that you had to do a work around to get it working (ie it works fine but refuses to install). This was on XP 64bit (again, if i remember it right) so probably same applies for vista.

Couldnt find a way around it!
Had to use multi start setup on my pc.
I now have XP (32-bit) and Vista on the 1 machene.
Using XP for C&C (Now both Generals & C&C3)!
Thanx for the feedback

I know this is a long time ago, but I found a quick/easy solution:
You need to edit the options.ini file in:
"C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Data\Options.ini" for generals, or, for Zero Hour:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data\Options.ini

Here is original Options.ini entries for Generals:

AntiAliasing =
DrawScrollAnchor =
GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
Gamma = 50
IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
IdealStaticGameLOD = High
LanguageFilter = false
MoveScrollAnchor =
MusicVolume = 55
Resolution = 800 600
SFX3DVolume = 79
SFXVolume = 71
ScrollFactor = 50
SendDelay = no
StaticGameLOD = Low
UseAlternateMouse = no
VoiceVolume = 70

Copy all to new text file in notepad save as Options.txt and change .txt to .ini.
This is default setup.ini for C&C Generals, so you can adjust your own settings later in options menu.
Or edit it directly in ini file...

P.S.: If you own ATI card set AntiAliasing = 6 (maximum)
If you own NVIDIA card set AntiAliasing = 4 (maximum)
