Origin doesn't load the game!

Question

I already own a few Sims 3 expansion packs, and I recently purchased Sims 3: Supernatural.

It went on without problems, and I clicked the Launcher to play it, but the Launcher wouldn't load at all.

So I did the usual and restarted / logged off etc to see if that would help, but it hasn't done anything!

I have now uninstalled Sims 3: Supernatural but now Origin keeps popping up this new window saying...

"Only one instance of Origin can run at a time. Please check other Windows accounts to see if Origin is running."

I recently purchased a Windows phone and used my account from my PC (the only account on the PC) for my phone aswell.

Has that done something to stop Origin from working properly?

Answer 1

No that won't have done anything, that error message is just referring to occurances on your computer.

Press Ctrl+alt+delete

Go to processes

Find origin.exe

click end process

Then try and run origin again
