I haven't been able to make it work on my Windows 10 machine. Generals was my all time favorite C&C game and right up there as one of my favorite RTS games.
Apparently on Windows 10 their DRM driver does not load and crashes the game instantly. So you need to use a no CD patch (which I guess only works on the retail copies of the game)

I have the CD's but could never get a no CD crack to work.
Both games loaded instantly in the ultimate collection. RA 2 and zero hour.
Maybe re-buy them in the ultimate collection?

And if you have to, at the very least wipe the machine and start from scratch with your own image.
Now, that used to work. 
Now it does not.

There was no such issue for me like 6 months ago. Played Generals, Zero Hour vanilla and with mods on 10 without any problems. Want me to try again?
Check in with @coliver about that. He's having trouble with Zero Hour on 10.
If they don't have local admin it happens by default I think.
If they have local admin it gets much harder.
I got banned in Star Craft 2 for using single player mods 
So lost the rights to even play the game offline but I am allowed to buy a new key for the game...under the same account.

To which I replied with "I've explained to you at length that this situation has nothing to do with me that was <insert name>'s responsibility." She said "Yeah but we've known him awhile and you're new so you take the blame".
Why are you still there?!? That's terrible behavior.

The next free game from Ubisoft is live:
https://club.ubi.com/#!/en-GB/ubi30I loved the original Splinter Cell. The newer versions really messed with the stealth gameplay.
You mean like sneaking and waiting for half an hour, get shot and start over? Yeah, that was great.
The first one forced you into a gun battle against the mercs in the Abattoir though, that was hard work.
Pandora Tomorrow was the best, it refined the concepts of the original, gave more options whilst holding onto a great story and gave us an amazing cat and mouse multiplayer game mode.
Chaos Theory was really good but much easier to run and gun.
Conviction and the other one I skipped, went onto Blacklist during a steam sale, it's a complete bomb-bastic shooter.

This all happened to me, but on a 5S, so I was protected.
And happened last year, before this was a problem.
Does not matter when the hardware change happened, that's why so many phones are suddenly dying now though. The new software itself, bricks the phone no matter when the repair was done.
I'm far too attached to my scroll wheel to ever browse web sites with command line

@Breffni-Potter Please tell me you got this application yourself.....
Nope, Spied it on LinkedIn
Had I received a letter like that, I'd be wondering who my technical manager is....I'd be very confused.
How did they get my company name wrong
"Breffni Potter from DARA & CO has sent you a link to download the..."
They wanted 50K to make it, they got 2 million. That's crazy...
There's been lots of "calling out" on the community recently.
Not sure if this is a good thing.
Mr Robot had so much promise but I stopped watching halfway through.
I just got bored of the drug scenes, I really don't care for it. It had so much potential and promise and it's like they flushed it down the toilet.
From a tech point of view, Mr Robot is amazing, just not convinced the story needed to be about that, there are plenty of us in IT who don't smoke.
@Kelly said in Breaking up with Apple, Hello OnePlus 3:
Hmm, this looks inviting. It seems to be almost Nexus-like in their updates and pricing. I might look into one of these when I get off of Windows Phone.
I'll let you know when I have it in my hands. (soon.tm)
The problem is, for once we have a really intelligent TV show, which gets all the tech facts right (mostly) and could completely change perspectives.
But oh no, here's the weed smoking hacker who is completely introverted and awkward.
Here is the violent CEO type who will stab anyone to get his way.
I just think they could have been smarter with the characters.
