My issue was that I would try to launch Generals but couldn't get past the window that pops up allowing you to select generals or zero hour. I fixed this by going into the game properties and disabling origin in game for this game. I noticed while trying to find a fix, that after I had tried to launch the game but failed, the play button was greyed out. I had to start up the task manager and end a bunch of Generals tasks, restart Origin, then, after disabling the Origin in game, it works fine. Hopefully this helps.
That sounds like exactly my problem man I pray this helps. Vary frustrated with origin atm
