Can't Play Simcity after update

[boabfly 0]

Hi,

 

I have not played Simcity for months and decided to revisit the game.  I opened the origin app on the PC and clicked on the Simcity icon in the "My Games" option.  The program then updated and returned me to the opening screen for Simcity.  I noticed there was the text "Single Player Mode" at the bottom left corner.  I click on the Play button and the screen goes black and then returns me to the desktop.  A Simcity icon appears on my taskbar but whenever I click on it the screen goes black again and the returns me to the desktop.

 

Does anyone know whats happening?

 

Cheers in advance.
