Did a search but it didn't return anything....

I recently reinstalled CnC: generals and zero hour after having not played them for a while. I go to start the game and each time it freezes when the splash screen comes up. Is this maybe a dual core problem? I have the latest patch installed. Anyone know how to get this working?
 
Unless you automagically installed it on your xbox, I think this goes in the PC forum ;)
 
dumb question, but have you tried rebooting, i remember that fixing that problem for me
 
humm, it happend to me I reinstalled it and it worked.
make sure the directory is clean and the registery is clear of cnc
 
Yeah, I restarted. I've also uninstalled, ran crap cleaner, defragged, reinstalled and it still locks up at the splash screen. (Yes, these are also official, legal, media)
 
uninstall it again and manually check the registry for problems with regedit before reinstalling it. its not programmed to take advantage of a dual core system so it should only see the first core and operate on it exclusively
 
Ok, I've uninstalled, gone through with regedit, ran crapcleaner, defrag, reinstalled, and still no go. It always shows the small splash screen, and then that goes away and a larger splash screen shows and that's where it stays. I've even tried lowering my overclock (which is stable anyway) just to make sure that wasn't an issue. I've never had a problem with this game on my old computer, I just don't get it.
 
I remember people having runtime issues with C&C Generals on OCed systems. Since you stated you reduced your OC, have you tried default speed?
 
Dropped my oc all the way down to stock speeds and still a no go. I get a game.dat error when I end the process if that helps.
