Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I still got the popup so I uninstalled Origin and went to another game I could play offline. I've just about given up since for whatever reason EA will not install in my system. I believe my only recourse is to wait for a fix on the Origin app that will do away with the popup. There have been so many negative comments regarding EA I would prefer to play my old Origin games offline.
Sorry, again, for not getting back to you sooner.
you should be able to remove the popup with the xml hack

Not any more.
