Battlefield 3 won't allow me to play Multiplayer or Campaign

Question

I bought the game yesterday and first noticed after installation, so I unsinstalled and tried again, same result, I performed a game repair and updated Origin and BF3 and still nothing different happened, it stays stuck at Initiziling, or after 20-30 seconds the box dissappears and nothing happens. I read up on the forums and tried a few things to no prevail, it seems this has also been a problem for a while. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Answer

i suggest you right click on origin and go to its Properties” option Next select the “Compatibility” tab, and Select the “Run the Program in Compatibility Mode” option., and theres a drop down box if your running windows 7, u should select windows 7 and at the bottom of this tab is a run as admin check box, check that aswell and hit apply and hit ok, then launch the game

Let me know if this works for you, if not i will see what else i can do to help you out,

Best Of Luck

Answer

I clicked on run as admin, however I can't find windows 7 in the list, its on Windows XP serivce pack 3, and all that else is there is windows server, windows Vista, and windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0

Answer

hmm ok , lets see can u post your dxdiag, so i can see your computer specs?

Answer

also do not set the compatibility mode for windows xp for that os is not offically supported for bf3.
