Answer #1
Did you try it in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode?
Answer #2
yea didnt work
Answer #3
If you run regedit from the start menu, have a look @
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
and look for anything relating to the Sims, then delete them.
Also, a search of the registry for Sims may get some more results too. You can then delete them, then the directories & try a new install.
Did you upgrade or clean install? Sometimes an upgrade can cause a few issues with software. The latest build 7127 had more game compatability too.
Then re install and try again..
Answer #4
