command and conquer generals will not load

@ pounder

I had the same problem as you. It all started a few days ago (around November 6th) immediately after the latest Origin update. At first I couldn't change the settings. I tried rebooting the computer a half dozen times but still I was unable to "Uncheck " that stupid box. Finally I gave up and the next day when I turned on my computer I thought I would give it another try, and for whatever reason, I was "magically" able to uncheck it. After I unchecked it, I was able to play the game and have been able to ever since. Don't have a clue as to why I couldn't uncheck it at first, then all of sudden I could uncheck it  the next day?????  But I am not complaining. All I can suggest is try rebooting your computer a few times and see if you are then able to uncheck it. If that doesn't work then turn the power completely off and let it sit for a few minutes, maybe that will help.
