0xc000007b Error
So a while ago, Origin randomly would not open with the 0xc00007b error. Miraculously, I got it to open. But now none of my games will work. I'd really like to play the Sims 3. My computer, .net,...

@puzzlezaddict It was a few days ago, so I can't specifically remember what it was, but I think downloaded the 2010 version of x86 vc++. I'm not exactly sure which year it was. I do have the 2005 version installed already.
Only my origin games will not work (TS3, TS4, TSM, and TS2). The launcher will load after some time, but when I hit play, I get the error in the screenshot I've attatched.
I can play games that are not linked to Origin just fine.
@Haanbeii Alright, that error is still usually linked to one or another of the VC++ redistributables. Try uninstalling the 2015 versions and reinstalling new ones (both x86 and x64):

If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall the 2013 versions (x86 and x64, but not arm):

- @puzzlezaddict Unfortunately, neither of those worked. I even restarted my computer.
@Haanbeii It's a good idea to run a couple of basic checks on your Windows system files. Here's how:
- Hit Windows key-X
- Choose either “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator),” whichever option is offered
- Inside the window that appears, copy and paste “DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth” without quotes into the window, and enter
- The system will start validating soon. If it throws an error, please list it here
- After it reaches 100%, hit Windows key-X again
- Again, choose “PowerShell (Administrator)” or “Command prompt (Administrator)”
- Inside the window, copy and paste “sfc /scannow” without quotes into the window, and enter
- Post the message you receive here
If that doesn't help, replace all the VC++ runtimes at once. Here are instructions:
If that doesn't help either, let me know, and I'll see if I can get a second opinion.
I've attached images of what I got fore both scans. None of these options worked.
