What kind of window does it open? Is it the log in screen?

Just a window on my task bar at the bottom labeled Origin. Does nothing else.

Bought Sim City. Loaded disk. Installed. Clicked accept on updates. It loads up a desktop icon, opens small window for half a second, then nothing.

I will try. Gonna have to reinstall because I uninstalled it. I've been trying to make this work for two days now.

Thank you so much!  That worked. Resized the screen and a ghost-like origin window appeared but I couldn't type in the boxes. Exited Origin and restarted it and BINGO! it worked. YOU ARE AWESOME!

Finally got Origin to load up after two days and downloaded Sim City. I live in a rural area with slow internet. Due to glichy running and multiple crashes I'm giving up on this game. EA has ruined it with online play. I never thought they could screw up Sim City. I've been playing this game for over twenty years, since the original game. Looks like I'll never play it again and EA will NOT be getting any more of my money.

I have the same problem, since the update of this week (8/7/14); I have reinstalled it several times (registry included); Origin just doesn't show up, the task manager (WIN 8) says the program is running but it won't show up

 

help
