Error 3000 Game does not start.

Hello,

I just installed simcity 5 today and also Origin. I've completed all updates for the game. When I press "PLAY" after a few seconds a error [3000] message box appears. This error seems to be very rare and I haven't found an answer to it anywhere online.

I've reinstalled both simcity and Origin many times, updated NVIDIA graphics drivers and my system with no luck. The simcity recovery exe does not fix the problem.

System Infomation: LAPTOP

MS Windows XP Professional SP 3

Intel Core2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26 GHZ

3.0 GB Ram

NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT

Not sure what else I can do

    This is possibly to do with locale setting on your PC and what you are trying to use in game.

    Can you provide the following files

    The install log  SimCity/__Installer/InstallLog.txt

    The update log SimCity/SimCityUserData/Patches/UpdateLog.txt

    DxDiag.txt

    Also, what language is your Origin client using? (en_US, en_GB fr_FR etc)

    Thanks
