So I've been working on this for the past hour or so. I did this so far...
- I manually uninstalled Origin following this: Manually Uninstalling the Origin client
- Uninstalled Plants vs. Zombies and Deleted the Plants vs. Zombies game folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games
- Downloaded Origin from https://www.origin.com/en-us/download
- Right-clicked the Origin Setup, went to properties, Compatibility, and set the privilidge level to admin.
- Clicked Apply and OK
- Installed Origin
- Right-clicked the Origin icon, went to properties, Compatibility tab, and set the program to run as admin
- Opened Origin and logged in
- Red Alert 3 had to verify, so I let it do that
- I launched Red Alert 3 to make sure it worked the way it should (it did)
- Re-downloaded and installed Plants vs. Zombies from the My Games tab in Origin
- Launched game and it did not launch or return an error
- I did a clean boot following this: How to Clean Boot your PC or Mac
- Restarted my computer
- Launched Origin (still in admin mode)
- Played game
- Again, did not launch or return any error
This is everything I did, step by step! I have the Origin folders under exceptions on my anti-virus, I removed Origin, I reinstalled Origin, and even did a clean boot, and nothing, not even so much as a EA logo video. Nothing to say "this is working".
Please, help me get this game running. I tried everything I could think of and was suggested, and I do not want to contact customer support. I'm going to end up doing all that I did above all over again since that's what the rep wanted me to do too.
