The First Decade: Generals & Generals Zero Hour. Problem with game.

[TrueShotHaze]

EDIT: Oh, and I already checked around in search and tried common problems threads, they didn't help.

I recently installed the PC version of The First Decade (TFD) as it's called on here.
I get this when I tried to play Generals, and Generals Zero Hour. "Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart the application".

First off, Red Alert (1) & Red Alert (II) + Yuri's Revenge, Tiberian Sun, & Renegade they all work fine. But Generals & Zero Hour are not working.

Even when I put TFD disk in the disk drive, it does not work.

So my question comes to, is there a patch for this? As it is probably asking me to insert an original copy of the Generals or Generals Zero Hour, as if it's assuming that I have the disk (which I don't because these games were supposed to have come with TFD if I'm not mistaken.)

I have no intention of downloading a "crack" thing, because I don't know what that is, what it does. This is my Gaming PC, and I do not intend to install or use anything that could damage my baby.

Here's my specs if that helps anything.

If I'm not mistaken, isn't TFD two discs? Perhaps it could be on the other disc?

I'm confused by this statement:

Does that mean when you installed Generals/ZH, you got it through TFD disc, or did you have the original discs a long time ago and tried to use TFD to play it recently? If you did the latter, that is your problem.


Note: I would recommend getting more RAM in the near future.

Did you read my post at all?
If you're asking if I have or have ever owned a copy of Command & Conquer: Generals or Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour, then no, never.

So my question comes to, is there a patch for this? As it is probably asking me to insert an original copy of the Generals or Generals Zero Hour, as if it's assuming that I have the disk (which I don't because these games were supposed to have come with TFD if I'm not mistaken.)

The First Decade is a anniversary collection of Command & Conquer games in one disk. It came with the installation disk & a Bonus DVD Movie which I've watched, of the Command & Conquer series directors, game designers, and etc. talking about The First Decade.

What The First Decade came with, was a list of codes to install Red Alert (I) & Red Alert (II) + Yuri's Revenge, Tiberian Sun, Renegade, Generals & Generals Zero Hour.

All of the games work perfectly fine except when I try to play Generals or Generals Zero Hour, it tells me to Please insert the correct CD-ROM. Select OK and restart the application.

I've checked through Search on these forums, and tried everything from the Common Problems thread, and nothing has worked. So, I'm asking if I need a patch that C&C Westwood has issued personally that fixes my problem or not.

Now, does that explain everything you need to know?
If you cannot help, then don't post and act like you know the answer.

If it turns out that nothing can help me, then I should ask for my 60$ back and use that money for something else.

EDIT: ALSO, the 4GB of RAM is on my Phenom AMD video card, my computer has well over 900GB of RAM on it's own, I do not need to "consider more RAM in the future".

The unofficial patch 1.03 might help you.

"more RAM" is just as likely to cause problems than solve them with these old games, tbh...
