Okay - I don't usually resort to these kind of things - but i have no other options

My origin doesn't work literally - EA shoved out some kind of cruddy patch that caused a compatibility error. Every time i try to run Origin via desktop shortcut or manually within the origin folder i receive an error saying ( Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Origin.exe . Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again ) - it didn't happen earlier. I tried surfing they're forums for an answer but all i saw was people with the same problems - Some said to Uninstall and Re-install Origin - I try'ed that - but i come up with the exact same error only for the uninstall

(C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\OriginUninstall.exe Make sure you typed the name correctly, then try again)
So - i've uninstalled it manually deleting everything having to do with origin and downloaded the latest version. But no - STILL the same god forsaken error. So i surfed the web again - and all i notice is that EA support doesn't even give straight answers - they just keep repeating the same words to re-install origin (I've re-installed origin about 10/14 times - and that is just getting annoying.) People say that the newest patch makes the Origin.exe disappear from the Origin folder - but mine did not - when i launch it - i receive the same error over and over again. The updatertool.exe just doesn't do anything - i double click it and all it does is open a command prompt for a split - second and that's it. I have try'ed waiting - I double-clicked it countless times but it just doesn't work.

I trying running it VIA administrator.
Turned off all my Anti-Virus programs.
Resorted to shutting down my firewall for a time-being.
Manually Uninstall Origin
Download an earlier version and try running that (Was recommended by many users - still nothing)

When i close the error via the X button i receive a message saying ( The item you selected is unavailable. It might have been moved, renamed or removed, do you want to remove it from the list? with an option of yes or no )

Assuming if i click yes - all it does is delete the Origin.exe
and if i click no - nothing changes at all.

If any of you guys have the same problem - or know of a way to fix this - please tell me how ( I have payed good money for games that i can't even access now thanks to EA Games (f**k up everything)

(Note : if you wan't i can post screenshots of the errors i encounter - if it will help.)

I've only seen this message when I tried to open an anti-virus .exe and I was told that the file was not found.
You may want to scan your system with a rescue CD (like Kaspersky)

user Seekay is right

PS: EA support only has help articles they follow themselves to 'help' their users.
