Huge problem..

Thyde · 30-04-2009, 01:45 PM

I bought Dead Space a while ago, but after a few months my graphics card decided to stop working, so I put in a new graphics card. This, however, resulted in Dead Space not opening. I installed the latest drivers, the latest directx, and ended up reinstalling windows xp.

After that, I installed Dead Space again, but I got an error with DDRAW.dll when I opened it, so I decided to splash out and get vista, because no games opened.

After installing Dead Space on Vista, I now get an error saying my code has been used on too many machines and I have to buy another copy of the game.

Is there any way to get around this?
An answer from EA would be appreciated

Edit: Can my code be reset or something? So the installs can be set to 0?

You will have to de-authorize the previous installs.

EA Game Authorization Management Tool

Also what is your video card?
