sims 3 won't start
Hi,
I'm from Belgium and my english is not very good, so sorry for that.
I wanted to play the sims 3 again and I installed everything and now it wouldn't launch. I saw that it is an known issue but the solution for setting it as admin (for ea app and sims 3 desktop icon) won't work.
If I click on the start buttom in the ea app the first thing that pops up is "this game require administration privileges. Do you want to launch?" and if I say ok than ea app closes and I see it lauding but than nothing happens and the ea app opens again
Can somebody help me please? It is little bit sad that you can still buy the sims 3 packs in the ea app but also know that they would not launch.
Thank you very much!
