Initialization error on startup

[Skulzie]

I see that this is a common issue ~ 135dec40:984c6a38:00000077

I've uninstalled origin (twice) and run the ccleaner program before reinstalling, still doesn't work. 

Am i doing something wrong or missing something in my method?

This error only started after most recent patch update.

@Skulzie Reinstalling Origin seems to help most but I'm starting to wonder if this is the new Service Initialization Error (Sims 3). That was usually connected to invalid registery entries, often left over entries from an deinstallation of an expansion that ccleaner didn't detetct properly.

Since we don't really have any expansion yet, it might be something else.

Did you also try repairing the game ?

Crinrict, you have done it again.

Repairing has made it work!

Thanks mate

Great.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add that to the FAQ thread
