Command And Conquer Generals doesn't work

[daveyb]

Hello. i've just got generals, installed it on xp pro and it wont work. when i start up the game it goes through the intro and then either freezes, or closes giving the following message "Technical Difficulties... Sorry, a serious error occurred". i tried it on my win 98 opperating system and it works ok, a bit jerky. anyone got any ideas?

Thank you
