Uncle808us, this must be an issue with your computer. I am not sure that you was asking for a refund or a fix, but you clearly stated in the OP:
"I like Spore Creature Creator but can't find out where to buy it."
Okay, unfortunely I am not an employee of EA or related to them in anyway whatsoever other than customor. I am merely here to help Spore players such as yourself.
If Spore Creature Creator is not working, it has to be an issue with either your hardware or the software in your computer, or it could be corrupted data in the Creature Creator files, I suggest uninstalling via the Control Panel then going uninstall the Creature Creator, then reinstall it to see if you have issues again. EA Would in no way release a badly broken game to the point of where it is unplayable, I also think you will not be refunded because the game does not have the Origin "Great Game Guarantee".
But please try what I suggested, if you already try it then I suggest you try it one more time, as corrupted files are common in Spore, if that doesn't work, I highly recommend updating your graphic drivers, keeping them up to date is extremely important, you can get them here: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk
If you already have the latest graphic drivers, then post me your DXDIAG:
