Hello @mjurge

You'll have issues trying to get a game designed for XP to run on 7. Win7 does have compatibility mode so you can try setting that on the executable. Right click on the executable and choose properties. Then, on the Compatibility tab choose XP.

Decrease your resolution because it's too high for the game.

Start Origin go in My Games tab right clicking and select Repair Game and Check for Updates and you should be fine.🙂

All my best.😉
