Wierd Generals Bug

Guys I got this really ****ty bug in C&C Generals: Zero Hour. Everytime time I start a game, about 30-40 seconds into it, all of my units and buildings explode and I die. Its incredibly irritating, does anyone know what caused it, I was even going for a 50 win streak medal (I was at 29) which was a total of 50 career wins and no losses since I installed the game for the first time. The thing that sucks was I was doing this simultaneously for the endurance medal (beat all maps against the maximum number of hard opponents) It was a lot of work to do that (most missions are incredibly close calls and sometimes I end up escaping with only a few units and construction units to get away with and build anew) So, naturally........ im pissed. Any ideas?

Reinstall ?
Tech Support ?

they used to have this problem in ra2 too. yuri as well. usually reinstalling fixed the thing but seeing as you're on a streak i'm not too sure. yell for tech support. tell them you won't consider reinstalling since you're half done to getting the medals.

Well it already broke my streak, see I got these medals:

GLA/USA/China Campaign Medals: I got highest ones I beat all 3 on hard, well beat them all except for GLA last mission, in which it was that the bug started appearing

Air Wing Honor: 20 aircraft against opponent

Battletank Honor: 50 tanks against opponent

Apocalypse Honor: Build all three superweapons against opponent

Generals Challenge Campaign Honor: also highest, also on hard difficulty

Technically I had all medals except the Domination (100 or up career wins) and the ultimate, and finally endurance medals, i distinctly remember missing those 3

I had a 25 win streak medal, and was working up to 50, I was also working on the Endurance (beat all skirmish maps) and the Ultimate Honor (beat all skirmish maps against max number of hard opponents) I wanted to work up to 50 win streak then work up to 100 eventually. The sucky thing is that, my streak is broken now anyway (I tried different things 3 times and each time I died which is three defeats) so now I have to start the streak over again anyway. The problem will be the various other honors I have earned, which will take forever to earn again (the Endurance and Ultimate namely as they deal with beating a sum of maybe around 40-50 maps)

PS: anyone know any really good generals sites? I tried planetcnc.com and its got really thin generals coverage (no maps to download, best thing was strategies)

Go to the website (offical) and use the support that they have!!!!

I just don't get why peeps cannot grasp the idea that they should use the support that the games companies provide in utilising the games. I wouldn't be asking a dentists surgery if i had pain in my chest..........I would ask a flippin doctor...

and that most problems can be resolved by d'loading and installing the latest patch. usually this is virtuallu automatic nowadays, it's that bizarre "update now?" option that comes when the game is installed, still that's a lot of time and effort, just batge straight into the game, why not? then post around the interweb when it doesn't q work as it should.

damn you guys are so spontaneous, lol, taw i played multiplayer on my first day and that requires an update and the game website sucks, oh yeah and this problem appears nowhere on their site, not on faq, or troubleshooting, hell i even checked the forums.

well I got the same prob, but only when I put it on the kids pc as well; when we started a new MP game, all his buildings blew up after a couple of minutes. Installing with a totally different copy of the game and a diff serial number, then patching resolved it 100%
