    Hi Darko,

    I finally got the game to work!! I was running the game as Administrator; that seemed to be the problem. I just ran the game in compatibility mode, but not as an Admin and it worked!!

    In retrospect, I think the issue was I was missing Java 7. Thank you so much for your help!

    For people struggling to get PVZ GW to work, here is what I did: 

    1. I downloaded an All-In-One Package and installed all the programs and files.
    2. Then, I right clicked PVZ GW icon > Properties > Compatability (this is a tab) > Click the box "Run this program in compatability mode for:" . Windows 8 should be automatically selected, but if it isn't, go ahead and select it. Make sure you are NOT running this as admin. Deselect that box if it is clicked. 

    Looks like this when you're done:

    Hopefully that got your game to work! Good luck!

Great to hear that you got it sorted @Aria456.

Part of the reason we ask for a DxDiag is to check all that.

    @EA_Darko i've been having this problem too, but my error said "there is a problem with your game's setup. Please reinstall your game". I already tried reinstalling the game but the problem is still there. I also tried @Aria456 method and its still not working, maybe you can check my dxdiag?, and see if my device is compatible or not. Thank you.
