First let's uninstall everything so you have a clean slate to work from. Follow these steps to uninstall Project Raptor, Zero Hour, and Generals:
The questions below are from
the frequently asked questions (FAQ) list.How do I uninstall Project Raptor?Here are the steps that need to be taken to uninstall Project Raptor::
Step 1: Click on the Start button.
Step 2: Click on Control Panel.
Step 3: Click on Add/Remove Programs.
Step 4: Scroll down until you find Project Raptor 6.0.
Step 5: Click on Remove. (or uninstall)
Project Raptor is now uninstalled.
At this point you can stop; however, I highly recommend that Generals and Zero Hour also be uninstalled.
Anytime you intend to uninstall any kind of mod, (not just Project Raptor) it is highly recommended that you uninstall the mod, Generals, and Zero Hour, as well.
This will prevent you from having any remnant files hanging around that uninstallers miss from other mods. These remnant files could mess up Zero Hour, or the next mod you intend to install.
To uninstall Generals and Zero Hour use the same steps as above, except in step 4 replace Project Raptor with the program that you are uninstalling. Zero Hour then Generals..
After that has been completed, then you will need to go to the following folders (using windows explorer or similar program) and delete any remaining files and folders:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command and Conquer Generals
[note exact path names may differ on your computer due to what version of windows you're using, and whether or not you're using a shared desktop or not.]
After all of that has been completed. Go ahead and reinstall all of your Generals and Zero Hour programs and patches. I know this is a lot of work but it will save you a ton of headaches in the future. Trust me on this one.
How do I download and install Project Raptor? Step 1: As of August 24, 2005 you will need to get and install the following programs and patches, in the following order, prior to installing Project Raptor 6.0. These programs and free patches are:
1.) Command & Conquer Generals.
You will need to buy Generals at a retailer such as Wal-mart. Project Raptor is NOT a stand alone software product. Meaning that without the Generals software, the Project Raptor software that you download will not run.
2.) Generals Retail Patch 1.7 – Available at:
http://www.eagames.c...ls/us/demos.jsp3.) Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour Expansion Pack.
You will need to buy Zero Hour at a retailer such as Wal-mart. Project Raptor is NOT a stand alone software product. Meaning that without both the Zero Hour and Generals software, the Project Raptor software that you download will not run.
4.) Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour Patch 1.04 at:
http://www.eagames.c...ls/us/demos.jspAfter these programs and patches are installed then you are ready to download Project Raptor.
Step 2: The next step is to download Project Raptor 6.0. Go to the Project Raptor download page at:
http://projectraptor...d.net/Download/Step 3: Click on the link that says, 'Project Raptor 6.0'. It's roughly a 124 MB file, so it will take some time to download. DSL will download it in less than 15 minutes. While dial-up connections, however, usually take hours to download.
Step 4: After Project Raptor has been successfully downloaded, you should now see a new box in the center of your screen. It should say ‘download complete’, and have three buttons toward the bottom of the box. They say Run, open folder, and close. If you do not see this box on your screen you will need to skip to the bolded paragraph, located under the solid line below, and run those steps, right now.
If you do see the Run, open folder, and close buttons at the bottom of that box then click on the 'Run' button.
Step 5: A wizard (a guided program) will easily walk you through the remainder of the install process. No fuss, no muss.
Step 6: No new icons will be created on your desktop for Project Raptor. To run the Project Raptor, all you need to do is double click [with the left mouse button] on the original zero hour icon that came with the game..
Step 7: Enjoy the game!
-----------------
If you did not see a new box in the center of your screen that said, ‘download complete’ after Project Raptor had finished downloading, or you saw the box and then it closed real quickly, then you will have to take the following steps to install Project Raptor:Step 1: Open windows explorer, or use the find files (or search) programs that come with your copy of windows, and find the following file: Project Raptor 6.0.exe
