Well, I finally made it (it seems)
Since I already was a god aka admin, I deinstalled the game, rebooted, turned of antivir/firewall - installed the game (again) - installed the latest videodriver - installed directx manually from the dvd - started the launcher - passed the holy drm check - got to the start screen - quit game - reenabled antivir/firewall - installed dlc - still able to start the game - lucky me so far.

which problem/error did you have?

I had the "we´re sorry: an error has occured. Please reinstall" error

[petitcomique]

and here is what I got:
We're sorry, an error has occured
There is a problem with your game's setup, please reinstall your game...

Reinstalled 2ce, tried with beta patch 1.01, dx 9, nothing working.

On a side note.... and yes, this is a rant.

I find it more than annoying to have wasted more than one hour of my time simply to make a game function as it should be right from the start. I don't buy games expecting having to manipulate, coerce, cajole or cuddle my computer to make them work for pete's sake!!!
I enjoy bioware's games, true enough, but the whole DRM thingie is getting more than annoying to tell the truth. I buy games because I want to support creators but the sheer frustration I am enjoying at the moment added to the wasted time make me think with nostalgia of the good old times without Internet, without patching, where the game designers were simply delivering prodcuts which were WORKING!


System is Windows 7, 64bit, with

Ok, so is Bioware doing anything cause we bought the game (which does not even start) and all we get is like "sorry for incovenience, you got ripped-off, have a nice day"

OK guys, here again:

Regarding EV#52959 - the "guest account" trouble, the following solution worked for me (WinXP):
WMI - Misconfiguration repaired and re-registered:

1.) Press START - RUN, type CMD
2.) Within the Command Prompt type: net stop winmgmt
3.) Using Windows Explorer, navigate to: c:windowssystem32wbemrepository
4.) Delete everything that's IN the repository directory (= FS Directory and $Winmgmt.cfg)
5.) REBOOT your computer
6.) Press START - RUN, type CMD
7.) Within the Command Prompt type:
winmgmt /clearadap     (Enter)
winmgmt /kill                  (Enter)
winmgmt /unregserver  (Enter)
winmgmt /regserver      (Enter)
winmgmt /resyncperf   (Enter)
Exit
---------------------------
After that I could activate the game and start playing.

If this alone doesn't help:

If you have just done "my solution above" try this now:
START - RUN - type CMD
Within Prompt command type: net user administrator /active:yes
Then try to start the game.
If this doesn't work either, repeat 1.) - 7.) (after setting administrator active)

That finally did the trick for me. Thx 4 it!

Tried this and the FS Dir wont delete says one of the files is being used.  I dont know how but thats what it says.  Tried it anyway and it did not work.

[JuggyGales]

How does this work for someone and not everyone with and xp setup. GRRRRRRRRRRR. I hate everything right now. officially a week since release and no fun..FCUKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[JuggyGales]

I wont stand for anything short of a full refund. I am off to get that now. Free DLC is not good enough a $20 EA store card not good enough. Give me full EA credit for the game and everyone else here who have to deal with this crap.

[petitcomique]

ok, game running so far after yet another install. I downloaded the very last catalyst drivers and deactivated the firewall, running the install and the first game in admin mode, seemed to do the trick.

[Puselus]

I have reinsalled the game many times. Sometimes the screen is just all black other times am lucky and can play to the load screen then the game stops, so I installed the beta patch, that just makes my game not start at all.. *sigh*

Well, I just got my DA2 copy today and I seem to be having this administrator privileges problem (I use WinXP and this is a signature edition). I tried to run WMI diagnostics (though my computer seems to display hardware information correctly), but it returns errors every time. I wonder if this might have been caused by outdated BIOS? Any other solutions in this topic don't work either. I'll probably try updating BIOS tomorrow, though I'm afraid I'll mess it up (never done that before...).

Generally, well; this was my first time to pre-order a game and it would be the last. Seriously, I expected all sorts of bugs but not being unable to actually run the game. Well, let's just hope they'll fix it quickly enough.

Any updates on possible fixes? Been waiting since launch and the game still won't launch. Any ideas to bypass the launcher's configuration utility? I'm getting tired of:

''The Dragon Age II configuration utility has stopped working.''

Can't believe I've spend 50 euros to look at that message. Sorry bioware/ea, this is a serious let down and I'm a huge, huge fan of your work.

[Andae]

@Myra2405 I did try this solution, twice actually, and it didn't help - on my first try it simply did nothing and on the second I couldn't delete the files from the repository folder (the message said they were used by another program). Thank you a lot for advice nonetheless

The first page of this thread has detailed explanations about how to fix that particular problem. Take a look, the fixes aren't very difficult to try out.

[tomfredrik]

I've signed up to this forum basically to vent my fury. I've been stuck with the adminstrator privilages error message since release day in the UK. I've followed all of the advice on this forum (many thanks to everyone who'se posted advice) but nothing has worked. I draw the line at updating my BIOS. I shouldn't have to risk turning my motherboard into sticky molten slag just to run a game.

I'm sure Bioware are working on this behind the scenes, but the lack of updates from them in this forum is starting to get seriously frustrating.

At least Minecraft always works.

Wishing you luck!

Tried to do this but was unabe, but (un)luckily I noticed this when I was doing it: http://img703.images...02/errorwmi.jpg

Could this be what's causing my problem? <_<

Think so, yes. Have you just tried, what Rob Bartel from Bioware wrote about it , for Windows 7 ??
Take a look back - go to page 1.
And don't give up

[Theorenius]

Hmmm.... Luke Barrett Wrote this in "Dragon Age II PC beta patch 1.01" thread:

The PC only 1.01 patch almost exclusively fixed the issues listed and nothing else. Our first patch (and the associated notes) will be very extensive...and no I cannot comment on it more than that.

So, what this means? Will be it this year??... As many others i am bugged with bloody BEX error... I tried all ways. Reinstall .NET, Visual C++ (2005, 2008 SP1, 2010 - for sure, I tried all of them gradually) , bios, drivers... Everything on PC works. WMI, Admin account, all is fine, this is bloody hard one. Nobody has beaten BEX error so far... I begin worship the spirit of the machine, maybe this one will help

I just want to add my voice here... I'm also getting the guest account error, even though I'm the admin user (Windows 7, 64 bit). I have tried the suggested fix on page 1, though nothing is wrong with my WMI configuration, and have also tried Myra's advice. None of it has worked. I really hope that this will be fixed soon; personally, I've lost a lot of respect for Bioware - I can't believe that this issue, which obviously affects a lot of people, was not caught in some sort of testing.

It seems rather that it has never undergone any testing.

DRM Software Company: We need a robust test for program that may not be exactly right and has poor functionality
EA / Bioware: Of course, put it here, We glue it somehow to our new game, somehow it turns out...

i've beeing getting the same admin error consistanly and have tried everything suggested in the thread, I get the same error on my test bed computer witch has the same specs as my main computer runing Win XP pro SP3 with reinstalled .net framework 2.x and above. I've had to use a non-authorized work around (pirate crack) to even play the game after creating a copy of the DragonAge2.exe to switch back to when attempting the fixes that ppl suggest.... Not a very happy gamer, i've rauter not have to use any hacks or cracks for games that i spent good money for

[TBSpaz]

For what it's worth, I have the Admin/guest issue, I've tried every suggested solution on this forum regarding WMI correction, and the game still doesn't work for me. I've also tried a lot of other non-DA2 sites for WMI issues. It seems that the WMI cannot always be fixed by these methods, and in fact my System page still does not show processor and memory details, despite the fact that I've reestablished the WMI repository several times and corrected some Registry problems related to WMI. Many of these sites claim that (a) the WMI databases are very fragile and ( sometimes the only method to fixing them is reinstalling Windows.

Of course, I can install and play many other games (including other EA and Bioware games) without a problem, despite the WMI issue. That makes me think the ultimate solution is going to be a game patch, not infinite reconfigurations of Windows.
