If you're having problems with C & C Generals Zero Hour online whereby you can connect after applying the 1.04 patch but you cannot play against other players due to having a "different version"; it is more than likely you have applied a no cd crack.
The solution to this is to ...
1) Uninstall C & C Generals Zero Hour (not Generals, just Zero Hour).
2) Then visit the EA Games folder where you installed Zero Hour (default is C:\ Program Files \ EA Games \ Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour) and delete the entire directory "Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour". If you cannot delete it due to write permissions or access denied; simply reboot your computer and then you should be able to.
3) Re-install C & C Generals Zero Hour. After installation apply the 1.04 patch (either by downloading it yourself from here, or by going in-game, then online and applying it that way).
4) To apply the no cd crack correctly so you can play others online download the no cd crack from here (the one named "C&C Generals: Zero Hour v1.04 [ENGLISH] No-CD/Fixed EXE").
Once downloaded copy across the 'generals.exe' only to your Zero Hour directory and over-write once prompted.
Do not copy across the 'game.dat' (about 6.2mb); simply delete it as this is the file which caused the initial problem.
5) Load Zero Hour and you should be able to play online against other users now.
