ok i have tried everything i have seen on here and nothing has worked, i disabled origins, did the -w or -win (i did both), made a options.ini and pasted everything, changed to a different compatibly form 2000 to windows 7 and everything in between. changes the res. changed the color to 8 bit, run as admin. and i did them one at a time seeing if the next one would work and nope please help!
I had the same problem and nothing worked. However, I finally found the solution. Instead of making the Generals.exe file run in compatibility mode, set origin.exe to run as administrator. I set all of the other changes back and it still works as long as origin.exe is set to run as administrator. Hope that helps!
Not installing the games under Program Files also helps a lot with that.
