Option 2 - Run As Administrator

Option 3 - Edit Options.ini
This solution involves editing the Options.ini.[2]
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.
