Hey, I have a problem with contra 007. My friend and I are trying to play it but we both get different menu screen and I believe thats the reason we dont see each other in lobby.
A friend has a menu screen with some battleships and all, I have a still image on the menu screen. Any ideas what could it be?

I doubt this is the cause. The "menu screen" with battleships is called a "shellmap". People running Zero Hour on Windows 7 could be missing that shellmap. Make a shortcut of ZH, set compatibility to Windows XP SP3 and run it as Administrator. That should solve the shellmap issue. But again, I think the problem is not caused by this. Do you play with Hamachi?

Yes we play with hamachi
Make sure you both have local IP starting with "25" selected in the Options menu. And see if Windows Firewall is not blocking Zero Hour.
