    Recently I decided to play C&C Generals to remember old times, and I still can't whitelist it.
    I can't run it on High with 1024x768 because it will lag and give me 10~ FPS.
    I used the 260. driver last year, and now I'm using the 275 drivers. Same result.
    Files I put in the whitelist:

    game.dat
    generals.exe

    I believe I know how to whitelist. It's been a year already, and this is the only game I can't run on dedicated graphics. So frustrating. >.>
    Yeah I could play it maybe on medium with decent 20~ frames.... but still. LAME.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I couldn't get Killing Floor to whitelist either. Luckily I was only trying it for 2 days so I didn't care enough to get it fixed. I could not find the .exe and I downloaded it from Steam.
