Community Admin@heartluckerFirst, try turning off Origin In-game.
You can do this by clicking Origin in the top left, then Application Settings. Go to the Origin In Game tab and untick the box, then try again.
Thanks.
tried this does not work

There are some other steps in this post which may help, if the main process didn't: http://answers.ea.com/t5/C-C-The-Ultimate-Collection/C-amp-C-Generals-Zero-Hour-startup-error-Activation-dll-load/td-p/4201454
Followed the suggested solution and DNR Origin Client and CC RA2, nothing helped, still have this error. What can I do?
For 32-Bit systems, the 'Activation.DLL' file must be:
Version: 4.2.0.27
Size: 1015KB (approx)Location: RetailExe/1.2 (for Kane's Wrath)
NOTES: Locations vary with game, Red Alert 3/Command & Conquer 3 TW/KW all use the same version.
TW Location: RetailExe/1.9
RA3 Location: UNKKNOWN (look for the '.dat' file, it should be next to it)
KW Location: RetailExe/1.2
ALSO NOTE: 'ssleay32.DLL' and 'libeay.DLL' are also required
Version: 1.0.0.3 (applies to both files)Size: 231KB (approx) and 1081KB (approx)
Location: GAME_ROOT (next to the main Game.EXE)
EXTRA NOTE: 'msvcp100.DLL' 'msvcr100.DLL' 'msvcr100d.DLL' may apply to Kane's Wrath
Version: 10.0.40219.### (values vary)
Size: 400KB-1200KB (this value is not accurate, as versions cross-games vary)
Location: GAME_ROOT
Other files may be required; I am making a list of these though.
Try re-installing the game if you get this far and still need help with more DLL's.
