solved directx and video problem here
 

if u are experiensing a problem when u double click the C&C generals icon, nothing happens for a while, and it pops up whith the message that have to check your directX version or your graficcard drivers, although all your other games work perfectly
.......... THERE ARE 1 SOLUTION...........
(1) install directX 9 one more time, even if you did it 20 times to figure out what was wrong with the game
(2) go to my documents
(3) go to the command and conquer generals folder
(4) make sure that your folder settings are set to view hidden files and folders
(5) finde the file named "options.ini" and DELETE IT.....NOW

your welcome.... now you can play the game....:lol:
