So I decided to uninstall all of my Sims 2 expansion packs and install only the Sims2 and the Sime 2 Pets. However, when I uninstalled the games and tried to reinstall it, it won't allow to to do so. What's going on?

a specific error that it gives would help.

Do you think a XFX GeForce 6200 512MB would work?

Hey
I have had the sims 2 for over a year now and it installed and worked perfectly for a few months untill we had to have a disk cleanup of the local drive where it was installed.
Since then I have tried several times to install the Sims 2 only to have the error
"CANNOT LOCATE THE CD-ROM"
Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application
Obviously it cannot be because my computer doesnt reach the requirements as it as worked before on this computer AND on several other of my friends computers without any problems what so ever
Yesterday, I realised Sims 2 was already installed on the PC and so I removed it completely from the system and the disks actually managed to reinstall without a problem.
However, when I came to play the game the same error returned!!
"CANNOT LOCATE THE CD-ROM"
Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select OK and restart application
Please can someone give me some advice soon because it is driving me insane!!

is that what you have or is that what you're going to get?
that will most likely be fine, except XFX sucks. if you're getting it go with a different brand.

do you have a second cd drive? if so try that.
Also, you can try to rip the cd and use an emulator like alcohol 120% to run the disk, but you need an at least decent computer to do this.

I have really bad experiences with Sims2. I had serious problems with installing the game (it always stopped at disk 3), but I figured out that I could copy the disks to the harddrive as diskimages. After that I was able to finally install the game. However, the game would not run, it freezed just after displaying the sims2 logo.
I have been in contact with EA and was told that the problems is related to background running tasks (like virus programs) or that my computer does not have the system requirement. I really tried everything! All running programs was stopped, and I have checked that my laptop has all the system requirements that is needed (it is a new Dell Latitude D810).

I sent the game back to EA, and after some discussions I got a new game in return.
However, the stupid game will not run. It was easy to install this time, but the same thing is happening - it freezes with the sims2 logo at the screen.

How can EA distribute a game that is so terrible bad (the long lists of problems at different forums is not a gode sign).

Do anyone out there have a clue to my problems or is Sims2 just a really bad game that only runs on a very special computer?
