Messing with many mods could make your generals zero hour unstable , especially if you leave a file or two int the game's directory after uninstalling it , so I would recommend uninstalling the game completely and re-installing ,and be careful next time while installing/uninstalling mods :)
just close any open apps and don't move/click the mouse after you doubleclick on the launcher. had the same prob. hope that helps

Most important of all...it seems that Zero Hour does not actually have the problem...Generals does. You need to use Uninstall Tool to completely wipe out both games. Then patch Generals to 1.07, patch Zero Hour to 1.04, apply the cracks, and enjoy. Me and Mr.Class always face no problem when we do that, and we have 64-bit Windows 7 (which really screws up some games because of its denying write permissions to the Documents folder where many games store their options and savegames).

EDIT: Those who have problems, including lorcan32 and eido, please do the following in case you run out of solutions.

1) Rip the Generals and Zero Hour CDs onto the PC with the problem.

2) Mount the images. There should be 4 images if you're running the original EA installers. If not, I suggest you get them. They are 2CDs for Generals and 2CDs for Zero Hour.

3) Install TeamViewer and give us (me and Mr.Class) your Partner ID and password. We will connect to your PCs and offer you remote assistance. Hopefully, we can fix the problem.

4) Join our Hamachi network for Generals, LOTR, C&C3 Tiberium Wars, etc...:

One of the problems it seems, is DEP (Data Execution Prevention). This prevents Zero Hour from launching even if uncracked. You need to add Zero Hour as an exception to DEP. Hope that helps.

Also, make sure that you're using the original EA installers and not extract installers that do not add registry, etc...
