Hi, I did the following stuff:-

1. Did not reinstall FIFA again as already had done it once. (takes a lot of
time with DVD)
2. Changed the Security and Privacy setting to "Medium". Also, I turned off the Firewall and Antivirus..
3. Registered the game again.
4. Still the EADM did not open automatically when FIFA is launched and "Yes" button clicked on the Pop-up (for downloading updates)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Then I tried uninstalling the EADM, and then reinstalling it again. This time did not made any updates for the newer version.
6. Again the same problem, it does not open automatically when FIFA is launched, but if I keep it open when FIFA is launched, it shows that EADM is in use by FIFA. It shows an icon where it shows the full size of FIFA download to happen. But, that icon row disappears after 1 or 2 seconds. Ideally it should have shown a Patch download icon as you said rather than full FIFA download.

This is frustrating buddy...!! Please do help if you can...!!

NOTE:- I have a FIFA 09 DVD from where I installed the game.
