What this means is that they have likely placed a TOS (Terms of Service) Hold on your account on their end and Origin reacts accordingly by blocking the previously installed EP from running. The actual program files may be hidden from regular view by Origin but even if the program files themselves are still there taking up drive space, they wouldn't be able to run anyway as Origin manages the entire launch process.

GAAAAHHHH dealing with their customer service has been a nightmare in the past. Thanks so much for the help though. I guess I'll have to give them a call tomorrow?? I would just re-purchase generations through Origin but Origin thinks I have it installed and working X)
