Downloaded game not working.

[epicdragon85]

Hello, just purchased battlefield 3 premium, and when comes time to download it, it prepares to download, then an error window pops up stating "download has been paused, Origin needs to install files and in waiting for permission. Please choose ýes' when windows prompts you for permission'

Computer is windows 8.  No windows prompt for permission pops up. it is rediculous how bought a game and cannot play it when it should just download. Done all the fire wall stuff. No dice.  have no hassles downloading games elseware. 

please advice. thankyou in advance.

finally fixed it, missing files from origin, my game disc kept installing origin everytime with different files missing. after uninstalling and reinstalling a lot it eventually worked, then downloads started. have paid for all of premium edition to download however and ended up using a disc for the initial game. at least it is working now. origin is extremely buggy.

@epicdragon85 Hi,

So you are alread yrunning the program as administrator as posted in this article here: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/

If the prompt does not show up at all, I am wondering what your User Account Control settings are. You can check this by following the instructions posted by Microsoft over here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ie/windows/turn-user-account-control-on-off#1TC=windows-7

Let me know how you get on afterwards.

Cheers,

Nils
