Do those glitches appear when the game runs @ 800x600? Or does it run perfectly in that resolution?

See anomalies like those would make me suspect any of the following as causes:
Graphics driver
Graphics hardware
Corrupt install of game

There could be a different cause besides these. Sorry I don't have a quick answer for you, right now there are just too many open variables.

I assume you have the original Generals game installed. Does it have the same problems? Glitches?

Do other 3D games run correctly @ 1360x768?

The glitches appear when i run it at 800x600

Well I have the games ORIGINAL DVD's and i have run COMMAND AND CONQUER RED ALERT 2 in 1360x768" and it runs perfectly but that one is not 3d game at all.... General gives me the same glitches.

I have CALL OF DUTY 2 maybe i can try run it in 1360x768 to see if it workes =

outta the 3 options... Could Hardware be one = i dont have an awesome card... i only have a AGP Nvidia Geforce 7800 GS...

but this video card runs the game really good in a normal monitor = no lag no glitches.

and i have installed original drivers in this computer =

Generals and Zero Hour use the same engine. Red Alert 2 is an older engine and completely different. When you have a chance try CoD2 @ 1360x768 and other resolutions and report any glitches. This will help determine if the issue is driver/hardware/game specific.

If you have successfully played the game on your current graphics card previously, and the card is not showing any other signs of failure, I doubt it is the problem.

I just noticed that you have the First Decade version of these games. I've run across a number complaints on various forums about technical issues with this box set. In fact I seem to recall reading somewhere that the First Decade versions of Zero Hour and Generals have broken mod compatibility and network issues with the original versions of the games (way to go, EA). I have the original versions and have never used the FD set. Have you tried searching for related posts or looking for patch info?

This is a long shot to left field, but if you have a different monitor available, hook it up and test the game on it. I'm 99% sure this will not make any difference, but might as well try it.
