Anyone with answer?
Kiirkas:
The Download Manager has an icon in the System Tray when it is running. Right-click on the icon and go to Settings, and uncheck the box that says "Start automatically when starting windows". I did that and the EADM hasn't run since until I manually started it up just now.
Also worthy of note is that when I did run it just now it downloaded an update and brought up an installer (apparently it doesn't patch itself but needs user intervention and a re-confirmation of the ToS - blech). I ran the update installation, went to the settings and had to uncheck the box mentioned above (again). If the EADM re-activates its startup functionality every time it updates then EA fails yet again. How hard is it to leave my preferences alone?
Lastly, I never got an e-mail from EA to redeem my points. They were automatically added when I registered my game. If it matters, I already had an active user account when I registered; maybe registering a new account & a game at the same time is supposed to result in a different process?
Edited to add: I registered my game on the website and not through the EADM. The EADM may have a different points-redemption process than going through the website.
