I'm gonna try to offer some help here... I'm a computer tech. and this freeze up issue is a tough one to crack with many programs. I have found that increasing the amount of RAM your computer contains stops many freeze ups, also a new computer may do the trick, lol. C&C Generals is a newer game and requires that your system meet the minimum requirements listed on the box it came in. If you meet or exceed the requirements then you should be able to fix your problem. A freeze up occurs when a bottleneck takes place at the processer. Check to see that no other programs are running at the same time you are playing, because if the other program is set to refresh itself or save info etc it will automatically request processer access and will interrupt the flow of data being used by your game. If you are using XP home try updating it using the auto update program. There is a virus out called mslaugh.exe, check to see that your computer hasn't picked this up cause freeze ups are common with this virus. good luck
