Hi @varunr7

Clear Origin cache https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/origin-my-games-list-is-blank/

Clear hosts  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034

Restart your machine.

Run the setup file Origin with Admin rights  http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/#2

NOTE  If your download does not start or stops, go to the Origin client, click on Origin / Application Settings / Diagnostics- and from there enable Safe Mode Downloading.

My Opinion is no more important or right than yours.I'm a gamer like you, trying to help you (i'm not an EA employee).

If you want to know us or/and come up with ideas to improve the Origin platform or/and talk about anything and many more besides,you could also visit the NEW section Origin General Discussion http://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/bd-p/origin-general-discussion-en

I'm having the same issue. Not bothered about my time being wasted but when i've paid for a game i expect to be able to download it.
