Do you have the disc or download version of the game ? Are you starting the game through Origin or through a shortcut on your desktop ? What's your operating system ?
If you have Origin, do the games properly show up in myGames on the Origin client ?
I have the disc but I re-installed it using the download version on origin. Im using a shortcut to open it.. I have a Windows 8 computer. And, yes, it shows up in the My Games part in the origin client.

What happens if you press play on Origin ?

It takes me to the launcher, then when I press play it shows that error message thing again.
