Hello friends of gaming,
I am not sure if my issue exactly meets the initial topic, but there are maybe correlations so I tell you my story.
Yesterday I bought Spore (basic version) via Steam. As the game didn't run I searched for answers and found out that there is a problem in general considering registry data as the Steam version still tries to register as if it was the regular version, so the values are incorrect. My knowledge in working with registry is about 0.000001% (less than a bloody beginner) so I added all values that are told to be correct for the Steam version in all key paths I had found. There is still this problem (errors 2000 and 1004).
I do use Windows 10. It may be the case that registry works different than for earlier Windows OSs, or that Spore doesn't run at all even if the registry is fine. I also tried to run it with compatibility mode for Wndows 8 and as an admin. Instead of launching I was immediately asked if the problem was solved. Of course not.
This is my current state. Would love to get some feedback! 🙂
PS: I have 64 bit if this information is necessary.

@Wuzzituzzi Hi
The 2000 and 1004 error often happens in conjunction with the Steam Client.
If this error happens, you should contact the community there.
Otherwise jump into this topic below. There are some details on how to bring the game to Origin. This is the client of EA and will be officially supported here.

Well, thank you for just taking your time to reply.
I've scrolled a bit through your linked topic, so I thought I could install that origin client. But I don't know where exactly to get the "CD key". In Steam --> Spore I haven't found anything about a CD key.

Did not you receive an bill via email from Steam, where this is written. As I said for this you have to contact the support of Steam.
