If so, the service’s permissions are set wrong, and you need to fix them with the following command line command, entered in an command prompt that is run as administator: If the game cannot start the service for some reason, check whether it can if you run the game as administrator. The service shouldn’t start with windows, it should start with the game. The service should be set to manual, not automatic. The service should only say started when actually running the game.
Make sure it’s also set to automatic (it should then start up every time you fire up your PC). If it’s there and it doesn’t (my guess), right-click and hit start. Look for “Dragon Age: Origins updater” on the list and see if it says “started” under status.
