    Hey guys, I just downloaded the demo, but after I installed it and tried to run it, it stopped working, (With the message "THis program has stoppepd working we will notify you ...") and then quit. How can I get it to work? I run Home premium, and really love this game. Thanks for all your answers guys!

    Make sure you drivers (sound, graphics) are updated and install the latest DirectX.

    The demo is not patched so it's going to crash irregardless. IMO, Dice/EA still can't get this game to work even if they tried.
