Original title: Unusual game graphics glitch. Windows places a bunch of my games into the back ground and wont let me play them. All right I discovered this glitch while playing command and conquer generals.

The game would start for about one to two seconds and the game would stop. A lot like if you hit the windows key on the keyboard the game would be placed in the background. After looking it up I found out that there were individuals who had the same problem. All of them were running Win 7 64 bit home premium. How ever its not the game.

The reason why I know this is because this isn't the only case. I have many games this happens to. It also happens to a few programs as well. After observing this occurrence for a while I figure it is due to when the game interacts with Win 7 for screen resolution. When the game first activates. I also noticed for my older games were my computer and win 7 has to adapt to an older form of resolution it happens more often.

This is the official patch version 1.04 for C&C Generals: Zero Hour. File name: GeneralsZH-104-english.exe. For Command & Conquer: Generals on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'problem with installing patch'.

Note changing the resolution on my games to fit my comp settings doesn't remove the problem. Its just a little less likely to happen. It's getting to the point were I don't know if I want to bother with the games because putting them in seems like a gamble. And yes I tried looking for patches and updates, and yes I have reinstalled a few of my games.

Patch 1.04 for Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour was released in April 2005, and was the final official patch for the game. It was a minor hotfix for version 1.03.
