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.
This worked for me. Thanks a bunch man. After futiley trying to get ahold of Origin Customer support (put on hold for over an hour before I gave up) (Waited 0ver 30 minutes for online chat before it timed out), I was ready to pull my hair out. What a discraceful company. They must have like 3 people working for them.

Uncheck the Origine enable in Game box.
Done and fixed my greyed out play button for C&C Zero Hour!! My game plays fine now.
Amishninja42, you sir are amazing! This worked for me. Thank you so much. This company is pathetic! Even if they have older games that not many people play anymore they shouldn't abandon them. I wish there was something that can be done about how helpless Origin's customer service is to their customers. Thanks again!
