    Is this the DVD version of the game or the Origin digital download version?

    The DVD version will have problems due to Microsoft decommissioning the SecuROM DRM system. An easy workaround is to redeem the game's serial on an Origin account, which gives you access to the digital download version.

Really, have people forgotten how to google? It's really not hard...

Anyway. In the Origin client program, open the "Origin" menu and select "Add Game". Then, choose "Redeem Product Code" and enter your game serial. The product should be added to your Origin library.

This works for all EA products that exist as single products on Origin.
