Help setting up Dragon Age OriginsFollow

Hey guys,

I'm having issues setting up Dragon Age: Origins. I installed just fine, but whenever I try to play or configure the game, I get the message "Dragon Age Origins Configuration Utility has stopped working" about halfway through the "updating configuration" loading bar. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled. Anyone else know of this problem, and a solution or work-around? I heard running the launcher.exe as an administrator would work, but the person said it would be found under Steam... and the only game listed there for me is Portal.

I've heard a lot of good things about this game and would love to play, but I've spent an hour hunting resources online with no success, and frankly I'm getting tired of it.

Wait, are you trying to install the game without being on the administrator account?

You can add the game to steam & try it from there. I had no issues with DaO, except when I turned up the graphics to ridiculous.

Sorry, my specs are fine for the game; when I get back home I'll try to find them.

I'm logged in as administrator, running Vista 64-bit. I bought the CD, I did not download the game.

I haven't been able to find the game .exe in program files; the best I can find is the launcher (which is listed as autorun), and running that even when right-clicking and saying "run as administrator" is not working.

Edit: But thank you all for the help so far; I'll try again when I get home. Rate-ups all around!

mine is located at Dragon Age/bin_ship/daorigins.

If you only have vanilla Vista or Vista with SP1 you can only have DirectX 10. If you installed SP2 then you can use the latest version which is DirectX 11.
