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,...

@Haanbeii  Uninstall Origin "the hard way" again—even if it didn't fully install, be sure to remove any files that did appear.  Then create a new admin user account on your computer and try installing it through that account.  Be sure to use only letters and numbers, no special characters, accents, etc. in the username.

If you succeed in installing Origin in the new user account, you can test your games in the regular account.  But if they still don't work, try launching them in the new account too.

@puzzlezaddict I tried installing it, but it still didn't work. I couldn't find the Origin folder in uninstall folder in regedit (the one with all the steps), so I don't know if that made a difference.

I tried to see if I could open The Sims 4 and get the 'cannot run without origin' message, but I got the 0xc00007b error. When I first uninstalled Origin, I got this error message, so I don't particularly understand why it suddenly stopped working. Maybe I should just get another computer only for the Sims.... :/ Luck is not on my side.
