Does pressing ALT+Enter switch the game to windowed mode for you?

I assume you have the Origin version of the game?

 

Download and install Bibber's fixed launchers for The Ultimate Collection. Then, in Origin, right click the game, go to "Game Properties", and in the "command line arguments" box, type -win

 

Then press OK and start the game.

No, this method works on new games like BF4, NFS Rivals etc.

Yes I do have the Origin version, but I am not sure if I should use a third party. :/

Also, when I tried to download, the anti-virus filter application of my browser warned me that this file maybe harmful.

Still have this problem after so many years. I used to run it using Biebber's launcher that allows command line commands to pass through. However currently all the links to the hacked launchers are dead. And EA still has not fixed this issue and they wonder why they are the most hated gaming company when they do everything possible to get the player's money but nothing to support them after they have purchased.

Yeah, Bibber left the CNC-community apparently. Please look here on how to get the -win-command working again: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Generals#Restore_mod-_and_command-line-parame... (follow the "Replace the executables of the games"-instructions)
