This is a small compilation of fixes for the 1.01 version not starting. Please reply that it worked or just bump it to keep this at the top please. The search is not working and no one is sticking fixes so we'd like to keep this at the top.
Do this if the game won't start after updating to 1.01:
It looks like the patch was built with a different (presumably newer)
version of the MS VC++ 2005 runtime libraries.
Goto:
Click Here
..scroll down to:
vcredist_x86.exe --> DOWNLOAD
(To confirm you got the right file, you can check the file size; should be approx. 2.61 MB).

Fix for Vista and Windows 7 Users Games Explorer Link not working:
It's a corrupted game definition file that was installed from the
update. You'll need winrar to fix it or and app to open RAR files.
Navigate to your DVD open the data folder and then open apps_ship.rar .
Inside
the rar file will be a folder bin_ship. Open it and then copy the file
daoriginsgdf.dll to the same directory in your Dragon Age install
folder overwriting the existing ( or alternatively you can back it up
somewhere first ) . This will fix the problem.
If you
don't want or can't do all that, then just navigate to your Dragon Age
install folder and make a shortcut directly to DAOriginsLauncher.exe
and that will let you play. ( won't fix the Games Explorer though)

Something to try if you still have issues after getting the VC++ ATL fix.
Run Microsoft update: here
get Microsoft update and select "custom" then have it install all the
optional updates as well as the critical ones. That often fixes unknown
errors of a variety of kinds. Don't just use windows update or the
"automatic updates" as those only patch certain things... do the manual
update too.

Worked fine thanx. >thumbs up<
I am using XP64 and DL'd the vcredist_x86.exe file and can now get game to load. I saw _x64.exe and _IA64.exe files are they necessary for XP64?
