Try setting your SimCity and Origin desktop icons to run in Windows 7 compatability mode and "as administrator".
(usually right click, select Properties)
You can also check out your install and update logs for more info
Open them with Wordpad and scroll to the bottom. Look for any WARNING or ERROR lines.
