    Sorry to see that you are having issues with the game. What works for some people is the following:

    1) Open notepad,  copy and paste the following text:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\SteamPopCap\PlantsVsZombies]
    "ScreenMode"=dword:00000000

    3) Go to that folder and then double click (open) "fix.reg". It will ask you to make changes to your system registry.

    4) Launch PVZ
