Accepting a UAC prompt

Question

I recently purchased the Sims 3 supernatural as a download. I opened origin from my desktop and ran it as an administrator, but when I tried to download my game a pop up appeared that said 'windows prevented the application from creating a download directory. Please accept the UAC prompt to begin Downloading this game'. But there was no pop up that would have allowed me to accept the&nbsp;UAC&nbsp;prompt and I don't know how to do it. Please could you help me?&nbsp;

Did not read those so I don't know if they have an actual solution but if you google 'UAC prompt not showing' there's lots more.
