I heard about this problem a long time ago with Red Alert 2....basically you start a game and before you can get your third structure built, your entire base explodes and you are defeated.
Has anyone else run into this? I just copied my HD onto a new larger one yesterday and I am wondering if Generals now thinks the game has been copied and wont let me play as usual?
Yeah, It's a copying protection measure. A simple re-install will suffice, if it still does it, delete the registry key for Generals and things will be OK .
