Won't work!

[aur97]

So I have the Sims 3. I would be able to play it for like maybe 5 minutes and then it would crash and go to the blue screen of death. I gave up trying to play and now, months later, I inserted the disk and if I click on the icon on my desktop, it won't even open. If I go into Computer and right click on Sims 3, it says I can open AutoPlay. When I click that though, it leads me to a pop up that has a picture of the Sim logo with the three/four Sims in a line of cut out diamond shapes and the logo "Sims 3." From there, there are no buttons I can push to let me play the game. At the bottom of the pop-up, it says "Powered by Origin." and there's an orange button that says "Install." But I already have Origin on my desktop and I have an account. I can't do anything from there. 

I really would like to try playing again and just lower some things to boost the game's performance. 

Can anyone help me???

Is Sims 3 still installed on your computer ?

Go to this folder: programs(x86)\Origin_Games and check if you have a SIms 3 folder (could also be Electronicarts instead of Origin_Games depending on your installation)

Could you also post a picture of that pop-up you're getting ? Just make a screenshot and inster here.

Yes, it says it's installed on my computer when I look in programs from Electronic Arts. This is the popup I get when I go into my computer and right click and tell it to Autorun. 

And I saved the screenshot of the pop up but it won't let me add any files onto this reply.

You need to upload to some picture sharing site and post the link here.
