It is not possible to run the game in XP mode of Windows 7.
Answers by microsoft about the problem that XP mode in Windows 7 cannot play 3D games:
"The Windows XP Mode virtual machine doesn't have a real video card. The virtual PC software simulates an old S3 Trio card, and there's no way to change it."

If after newest DirectX drivers were installed, and Generals still cannot not run, then:
According to CNCNZ Forums, to run C&C Generals in Windows 7, do the followings:
- Make sure you have the latest DirectX 9.0c installed, you can Google it or get it from Microsoft
- into your "user" directory (named with your user account yeah you know there where you see the folder my pictures, my music etc)
- in there go to "My Documents"
- well there after trying to run the game you would see a Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data folder.
- open it.
- right click and creat new empty .TXT file and rename it options.ini
- copy those lines inside and Save it!
