First,&nbsp;run System File Checker to help ensure the integrity of your Windows System files: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

If the issue persists, download the EA app installer from here:&nbsp;

Run the installer and then retry playing, thanks.

I already run System File Checker and it didn't find any integrity violations.I also try your other recommandation and still the same, the EA App couldn't run. Even the uninstaller exe cannot be run.

I'm having the same issue. I can't uninstall it and the popups with the error message start as soon as my computer boots up Windows. It started about a week ago for me.&nbsp;

I had this start happening to me yesterday, it seems like I've tried everything. I've now reached out to EA about it, but I haven't heard anything back. This one is a little tough to figure out.. Also, my error message is now blank. It showed the error message maybe two times? I miss origin for PC.
