    @helderduarte2100 okay, I can't really read dxdiag, but hopefully someone else (Rum who I tagged above) will pop in and help

    A few other suggestions, try running Origin as admin: Right-click on the Origin icon on your desktop and choose run as administrator.

    This is the first time you've ever had Sims on your system and the first time you've ever tried to launch it, right?

    • My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium
    • Yes, the launcher starts
    • No, I don't get any error messages
    • I open the Origin client and then the game launcher normally. BUT when I click the Play button, the launcher closes and the mouse cursor shows my computer is working... until it stops and nothing happens.
    • Yes, all installed games show up in the Origin client
    • "The base game has Version 1.42.130." (according to Crinrict) and was updated to version 1.67.2.024017
    • I basically use "Microsoft Security Essentials", "Windows Firewall" and "Yet Another Cleaner"
    • I have only the download version
    • No, I can't find any file with xctp in that folder
    • Is it possible to include the .txt file in the message? :/

    @helderduarte2100 okay, I can't really read dxdiag, but hopefully someone else (Rum who I tagged above) will pop in and help

    A few other suggestions, try running Origin as admin: Right-click on the Origin icon on your desktop and choose run as administrator.

    This is the first time you've ever had Sims on your system and the first time you've ever tried to launch it, right?
