It's up and running again, as long as I run it from "administrator" mode. Still deathly sluggish, but c'est la vie. Better than nothing, I suppose.
turning your fire wall off will do no harm as long as you dont go on bad websites. i think its orgin thats messed up. as long as you have sims on your accont and severy thing elce you may have, i would uninstall and re install origin. if that dose not work or if you dont want to take the risk. try uninstalling the sims with a uninstaller program. like iobit. that may work and if it all fails, send a email to origin and hope for the best (or free stuff).
Thanks, it looks like origin might have been the problem after all! I chatted with an EA rep who got me to obliterate the sims from my computer but that's a lengthy process, so they ended chat while I was doing that. =/ I'll see how this goes! Thank you!
