Crysis 1,2, and Warhead will not work

[hazmat1138]

I recently purchased the Crysis collection from Origin.  I installed Crysis 1 and an error message would pop up every time I tried to start it.  I then downloaded Crysis 2: Maximum Edition on my computer.  When I click the play button from Origin, nothing happens.  It shows up in task manager as a background app.  I tried downloading twice but had the same issue both times.  Have not tried Warhead but I assume I will have the same issue that I had with the original Crysis.  Crysis 3 works just fine, but thats only one game out of an entire collection.

I would appreciate some insight into how I could get these games to work without having to uninstall my antivirus, change specs on my pc, etc. 

Here is what I have:

Windows 8.1

AMD A8-5500 APU with Radeon Graphics   3.20 GHz

8.00 GB (7.90 usable) RAM

64-Bit OS, x64-based processor

AMD Radeon 7800 Series graphics card

Please try a clean boot before starting the game: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135

Then run the game directly from this location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Bin32\Crysis.exe

Why are you telling him to run the game that is Bin32 when he is running a 64-bit OS?  I just had a problem with Crysis Warhead and all I got was a black screen.  I then decided to patch it using patch 1.5 and now it has an EA pop up and says I have no internet connection to register the game. LOL  Anyway what is the real solution for running these games on a 64 bit OS using Origin?  It is it the same fix as people use in Steam?  I just got this game to work with Steam using a fix someone shared on their message boards.

Oh and the about the patch I used with Origin well it was from here ...

https://www.howtogeek.com/230773/how-to-play-pc-games-that-require-safedisc-or-securom-drm-on-window... explains what the problem is, although  I downloaded and installed "Crysis Warhead_patch0" which bypasses the need for the cd Key. The game then worked perfectly. (I do have the cd keys for my EA Classics Crysis Maximum Edition.)
