Hi all,
I cannot get the game to start at all, I just get an error message which says "Activation Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close" then the usual send error report to microsoft options. I uninstalled and reinstalled, no better, so now I am downloading the entire game from EA. (I bought the DVD version, and EA download manager accepted my key-code, so I can do that.) It has taken about 3 nights to download and is now at 8.5gb of 8.2gb with zero time remaining, but is still going!
I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this issue, I have not seen it on the forums, and I don't want to go to customer support until I have exhausted all other options. I am running-

Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600@2.4GHz
2GB Ram
1GB Geforce GTS 450
Win XP home with SP3

Any help would be appreciated.
