Games aren't working

I have downloaded some games from pogo and iwin and they were working fine
until about a week ago, when all of a sudden when i click on one or even
download a new one it installs and then when i go to start it it tells me
glworker.exe stopped working or game launcher stopped working and they won't
open, can anyone help me?

Computer Make? Model?

What have you installed on your system since it stopped working? Any Windows
Updates, driver updates, or other new software been added to your system?

Re: Games aren't working

I'll see if there are issues with your system, might open system restore and
see if it indicates that Windows did any updates recently, or just contact
EA support. http://support.ea.com

Have them do some troubleshooting on your system.
