Mar 23, 2012  I bought the Sims 2 Bon Voyage on Origin.com but for no reason at all a message popped up saying that the system wasn't correctly initialized (or something like that) so I refreshed the page. But then it took me to the home page, and I couldn't find my purchase history! So that's $20 wasted! Anybody know where to find my purchase history on Origin? Insert CD, origin comes up, now can I just use the cd to install the game like I can with every other cd I've ever purchased? I have to wait 6 hours to download all 3 friggin games, doesn't let you install from the disc apparently.

    If you reinstalled windows that means you erased everything that was previously on your PC. Unless you used a backup image to restore. So yes you would need to download and reinstall it.

    Then don't play BF1 lol....
    If Origin is asking you to reinstall BF1 in order to play BF1, I think your solution is pretty simple..
    Listen to Origin.

    If you reinstalled windows then there is a chance that the registry information that origin needs to point to the installation of BF1 is no longer there so as far as origin is concerned you have not installed the game. You will either have to edit the registry and add a path to the game or DL again.
