I contacted support and they had a really nice response, right click the origin icon and go to properties.

Go to compatibility and dun check the box.

Your error usually means that your OS has some corrupted internal markers, and the only way I know of to fix them is to downlaod all of the Windows Updates that Microsoft's Update site says you need. 

https://www.google.com/search?q=miscrosoft+windows+update

Easy enough, even when running Firefox and a different OS, which gets;

http://update.microsoft.com

or

http://www.windoesupdate,microsoft.com

or

http://windows.microsoft,com/em-us/windows/help/windows-update

So easy.

Where does one simply find this site?

And now I am getting Error 7049:408

And thank you for sharing it.  I don't recall ever putting this stupid program into compatability mode, but sure enough it was.  Removed check, relaunched, everything beautiful.
