Yesterday, I successfully ran the game by deleting a single file from the installation folder. Thank you for your assistance.

What file should be shared with those experiencing the same problem?

I successfully implemented running C&C Generals/Zero Hour with AMD drivers exceeding 19.5.2, and I am sharing this information for potential assistance to others. This method was assembled from multiple online discussions.

dgVoodoo2 is the solution, functioning as a wrapper for obsolete graphics interfaces. Obtain the most recent version at http://dege.freeweb.hu/ (version 2.61 currently). Extract dgVoodoo.conf and dgVoodooCpl.exe to the same directory as Generals.exe. Additionally, place four DLL files from the MS/x86 folder within this same directory. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour.

This procedure should initiate game execution. To integrate GenTool, rename D3D8.dll to d3d8x.dll. Subsequently, GenTool will automatically load the file named "d3d8x.dll." This step is crucial as GenTool replaces D3D8.dll with its own version.
