    Does it only happen with this game only?
    Have you tried another card on the system just to test lang?

    I've seen this VPU recovery thing from the same card we sold to a customer. Faulty jud ang video card. Hope your one is still under warranty.

    Generals and Generals Zero Hour campain were all completed with my ATI 9250 powercolor. 128MB 64bit.

    No problems encountered so far.

    Please have your card checked from where you bought it. or have it replaced if its still under warranty

    i have 15 units with the same vcard and same problem...good for all of you who got it workin good.
    by the way to those using the vcard then try download OMEGA driver for ATI since it somehow fix the problem
    but really there are times that the system crach due to this VPU recovery.

    thanks for your comments...

    Try disabling the VPU recover.

    Have you tried disabling Fast Write on the AGP port? You can either switch this thing off from the BIOS (if available) or from the SmartGear tab on the ATI Control Settings. Make sure lang you're using the latest Catalyst driver as well...


    Anyway, here's a lil wee info bout VPU Recover strait from ATI.

    Why is VPU Recover needed?
    Hardware crashes may occur when a hardware device and the corresponding
    software device driver are no longer able to communicate with each other. With
    Visual Processing Units (VPUs), these crashes may occur when the graphics engine
    stops responding to display driver commands. In the past, users would normally be
    forced to reboot their computer, often resulting in lost work and productivity. VPU
    Recover prevents many of these situations from happening and turn system reboots
    into a last measure solution.

    How does VPU Recover work?
    VPU Recover enables the ATI display driver to detect when the graphics processor is
    no longer able to respond to display driver commands. When this hang occurs, the
    display driver will attempt to reset the graphics hardware, enabling users to continue
    using the computer without interruption or lost work.
    Depending on the current state of the system when VPU Recover is activated, open
    applications may be able to fully recover from the graphics processor reset. In other
    cases, running applications may be closed and the user will be returned to the
    Windows desktop.
    Should the computer be unable to fully recover from a crash, VPU Recover will switch
    the system to software rendering mode, enabling users to save their work before
    restarting the system. Under rare circumstances, the hardware hang may be severe
    enough that the graphics processor will be unable to recover. In these cases, a system
    reboot will still be required.
    TM
    When VPU Recover is activated, a dialog box will prompt users if they would like to
    submit an automatically generated error report to ATI. This report helps ATI to
    determine the cause of the hang and will lead to faster resolution of the issue,
    resulting in a more stable driver. If users prefer not to be prompted to submit an
    error report to ATI whenever the program is activated, this prompt may be disabled
    on the VPU Recover control panel.

    @akari: that is not a good resort bcos it will cause to unmanaged system hang-up which means you will have no resort but to press the restart button manually which you do not want either.

    @obemon: I haven't tried this one but i will one of this days and express my observation to you.
    With regards to statements from ATI, I know this is a bug from them and I have read some that they are now trying to work it out. They are right with VPU recovery but still it interupts the user and worst is this happen when you play games from which you yourself don't want to be interupted. As I said OMEGA driver for ATI is somewhat their fix but still they are trying to work out for a better one.
