Re: Plants vs. Zombies GOTY Edition won't launch in Origin

I'm having this issue as well, but I've never gotten the game to run. Tried your fix, @EA_Darko, but it didn't help (and now I don't know how to undo the changes it just made to my PC). I launch the game as is, just after it's installed, and it immediately crashes to desktop. Restarting/re-installing/repairing doesn't help. I tried running the exe in compatibility mode for windows XP, and it launches, but makes both of my monitors black out and flash and I have to close it through task manager. 

@SnowieSimmer Interesting, that fix works for almost anyone I have seen having the issue. You could try setting a new registry value for "ScreenMode" and setting it to "0" so as to force the game to launch in windowed mode. 

It didn't work for me... I think it has to do with my computer being a 64 bit and the game being 32 bit and you can't change those settings
