How to Play Generals / Zero Hour in Windows 7 x64, (works for Vista x64 also)

Recently i installed from TFD, Generals Zero hour for some old good fights after i saw in you tube the Generals Trailer 1 at E3 that made me wanna revisit that game.

Now i am running Windows 7 x64 and after installation the program didnt run.

so here is what you should do to make it run

Make sure you have the latest DirectX 9.0c installed, you can Google it or get it from Microsoft
into your "user" directory (named with your user account yeah you know there where you see the folder my pictures, my music etc)
in there go to "My Documents"
well there after trying to run the game you would see a Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data folder.
open it.
right click and creat new empty .TXT file and rename it options.ini
copy those lines inside and Save it!

*********warning in the resolution section put your resolution*********

CODE:
AntiAliasing = 2
BuildingOcclusion = yes
CampaignDifficulty = 0
DrawScrollAnchor = yes
DynamicLOD = no
ExtraAnimations = yes
GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
Gamma = 50
HeatEffects = yes
IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
IdealStaticGameLOD = Low
LanguageFilter = false
MaxParticleCount = 5000
MoveScrollAnchor =
MusicVolume = 50
Resolution = 1440 900
Retaliation = yes
SFX3DVolume = 72
SFXVolume = 64
ScrollFactor = 145
SendDelay = no
ShowSof****erEdge = yes
ShowTrees = yes
StaticGameLOD = Custom
TextureReduction = 0
UseAlternateMouse = yes
UseCloudMap = yes
UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
UseLightMap = yes
UseShadowDecals = yes
UseShadowVolumes = yes
VoiceVolume = 78


then Right Click on your Generals / Zero hour Sortcut (if you dont have make one), in widows 7 most games make there sortcuts into the "GAMES" menu in Start Menu
and in the Compatibility Tab just select Windows XP sp3 and click "Run as administrator" option too (if you are not an admin)
thats it go inside change your settings and restart the game.

have fun thats an order!
