    @HexaTropgros Hey i fixed my problem guys! try starting origin as an adminstrator and then go to your gamefiles and open there the PVZBattleforNeighborville.exe as an adminstrator 🙂 I'm super happy that it worked i hope it does for you all too!

sorry for the reply, but I don't see how to POST on this thread.  perhaps it is closed?  anyway.. same issue for me.  tried uninstalling on desktop, and using the discs to load it (since that is how I loaded it on my laptop, and that works fine... also, the laptop isn't nearly as well equipped as my desktop).  Tried:

* run as admin both origin and .exe

* clearing origin caches

* creating new user (and I'm american.. so.. no odd characters or anything)

* disabling windows protection

* removing Origin overlay in the game and in the application

My nvidia driver was up to date, and then a new update even hit yesterday and i tried that... to no avail.. ☹️

I think the game is actually running, since I hear the loading sounds.  It appears to be more of a video issue.. I know it switches to a really huge lower resolution when it launches, as I've been able to get it to stick and pull up task manager, which is almost off the screen..

Anyway, ☹️  I've attached my dxdiag here.  I'm hoping that someone can help me.  ☹️

Ok, so I realized my mistake after the post... wasn't thinking about the ASCII characters.. was reversing in my mind.  When the realization hit me, rushed back here, created the add'l login, and Voila!  Stupid thing works!  WTH?!  While it's not an actual FIX, it IS a WORKAROUND.  Pfft!
