C&C Generals: Zero Hour problem

[Digital Terror]

I'm at work, so I can't post my system specs right now...hopefully they won't be needed.

The problem:
I am trying to play the General's Challenge. I beat the challenge with the Air General. When I try to play any other General now, I either get killed immediately upon starting the first mission with no chance to even begin playing when my command center and starting bulldozer just blow up for no reason, or I'll beat the first mission but then be informed that my defeated enemy General is the victor. I haven't tried replaying the Air General again to see if he'll actually work yet.
If my first opponent is the Air General, I can play it out, but am told that the Air General is the victor. If my first opponent is anyone else, that's when my CC and dozer just blow up.

The campaigns also won't work past the first mission. I beat the first mission, and then it just pops back to the main menu.

Any ideas?

Reinstall the game? Maybe its space alien?

It sounds like the old pirate protections. But I dont know what type of coding Generals has for their copyright protection. I used to hate that crap with those games, all your crap blows up at the start of the mission.

But then again, it could just be a bug, like the other poster said, try reinstall.

Im curious about this Im trying to play the generals challenge as well, but whenever I come to the superweapon general I loose within 10 minutes. First two helicopters attack, then 3 warthogs bomb my supply center and then more choppers and finally the particle weapon.
