Need help changing my Origin setting back to United States

So when I booted up origin today it asked me to pick a country, and I didn't see the United States on there so I just chose United Kingdom so it would be in English. I didn't really know what it was for and now my origin settings are set to Euros, but I'm American. How do I change that setting back to the United States?

  • @Sheepiling  Open Origin, hover over your username, and select EA Account and Billing.  That will open a web page with your account information on it, including a category for regional settings.  Pick the U.S., or, if it's already listed, switch it to something else, save, switch back to U.S., and save.

    If that alone doesn't help, try switching back and forth again, except clear Origin's cache after each change.

    If that doesn't help either, you may need to uninstall Origin "the hard way" and reinstall with your region already set.  This won't uninstall any of your games.

    That you so much!! The first suggestion you gave fixed the problem for me! :D 

    I feel silly that I made that mistake in the first place. It's what I get for pressing buttons without reading anything lol
