Okay, I know this isn't earth shaking or anything but since I installed Lion, Plants vs Zombies won't work. Not a big deal to me but to my 5 yr. old grandson this is the end of the world. Any fixes?

Yes. I wrote to PopCap Support and they replied with a detailed list of instructions. Basically, you need to uninstall and reinstall the game.

Hope it helps.

Rolando is right, load the latest version from PopCap.
It's working with Lion.
Should be enough, to install it over the old version.

But what if we didn't download it from popcaps .. but some other websites ? Than what do we have to do ? Because my friend she downloaded it from a torrent .

I think you are well aware of the answer. Buy the app the same way as all other honest Mac users do.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game. Still doesn't work. I can't download a new version because I didn't download the one I have, I purchased it at a store. I wrote Popcap and I'll wait and see what they suggest.
Thank you all for the help.
Because my friend she downloaded it from a torrent .
Smack your friend and tell her to quit stealing software.
Hi Mister_E,
nevertheless download it from PopCap:

If your purchased version had a registration-code,
installing the new version should work with persistent registration as full version.

Thank you for the excellent idea. I did download the game but my version from the store doesn't have any type of registration code for me to enter. I simply put the CD in and it installs, I drag it to applications and it plays (use to play).
Same problem here Mister_E. I bought the Limited Edition CD from Target, the one that comes with the little zombie figurine. It doesn't come with any reqistration key as far as I can tell. Uninstalling and reinstalling from this disc doesn't resolve the issue. Also, it doesn't appear that you can download the version from popcap.com and install over this version. It will still ask you to buy the game, or enter a registration code, which doesn't come with the CD version. Going to http://support.popcap.com/mac-games/cd-rom and clicking on "I bought my game on retail CD-ROM, but it's asking me to register!" will give you generic instructions on how to fix something ike this, but I don't believe it applies in this case. What we have here is:
1) I bought a full retail CD version of the game and it does not come with a registration key
2) The game will no longer run in Lion and there is no upgrade process
3) The instructions http://support.popcap.com/mac-games/cd-rom do not apply in this case
I am going to contact Popcap with this scenario and see what they say.
Update: contacted Popcap support, waiting for reply.

if your cd version of plants vs zombies doesnt work after lion upgrade and reinstaling it doesnt work just email popcap on there website and let them know. i did that and they ask for the upc on the box then let you download a version that will work with lion.
Thank you everyone for the help. Scottm078 is correct. I emailed Popcap, told them the problem and they confirmed my UPC code and sent me a version to download so now my grandson can get back in the game.🙂
