Go into a folder or "My Documents."
Click:
Tools > Folder Options... > View Tab
Uncheck "Hide Extensions for Known File Types."

Rename the file you downloaded to "cc generals cd2.bin" or whatever you want it to be/what the .cue corresponds to.

Its ok. Don't delete it yet.

Download CDMage from one of these websites.
It can scan CD images and fix corruption (like you have got).

When you've clicked open file, you need to change the file type. Theres a load of different modes for bin's, iso's etc. You just need to find the right one and it'll work.

(oh yeah, you can't do some ISOs in it at all)

yeah i herd some ISO's arwe wierd like that. well i only rly use bin's and cues cause i heard they are better in like quality and stuff. better storage way or some sh!t like that.

thanks a lot....its still messed up though because it wont let me rename it because its apparently being used by another user/application..i thought virus maybe but i scanned it and nothing...and i cant find it i the task manager...i converted it to an iso, but theres noit much point in doing anything with it becasue cd mage wont check it even in .iso format something about boundary and sector length...this is so annoying, ive bin trying for ages heck i might just go buy it at this rate....!!

has anyone else had this problem woth generals or am i the only one? also is it worth it? i just want to see how it compares with RA2 really.....
