Heeey! I need help! Well, I already own the Sims 2 and all the expansions, well one day I decided I wanted to start the game all over, which wasn't the smartest idea. So I unistalled everything including the base game. So now I'm having problems re-installing it, everytime I do, the only thing that pops up is 'English' then I press next and these errors pop up...

Error executing 'D:/support/TheSims2_uninst.exe' - Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory Request was completed.

And then 1 minute later this pops up...

Error executing 'D:/Suuport/TheSims2_Code.exe' % 1 is not valid Win32 application.

I even called EA games up and got nowhere, they told me to try installing on SafeMode but that didn't work, so you're my last resort, thank you!

If ANYONE has any idea on how to fix it...please tell me!!

THANKYOU SOOO MUCH

I had the same problem and cleaned off the discs. It now loads fine.

BUT.....(there's always a but).....it crashes continually. Last night, 7 times in 4 hours. The error message I get relates to the graphics card but it's a Radeon 9200 which is supposed to be fine.
The IT guys completed reinstalled everything but it still doesn't work. The RAM is 512, is that the problem?

hey ...okie now how do you clean your discs?

[weaglette]

Took a smooth, damp cloth, rubbed it easily and dried it off the same way. This has happened more than once and cleaning it worked.

I have a celeron 2.6 gh, 512 ram, and geforce fx 5500 and for some reason only on sims 2 the edge scrolling is incredibly slow. Please help me.

I've had the game for quite awhile now and it worked fine (installation wise) and now I have a new laptop (not brand-new, but newer than my pc... XP compaired to 2000Pro) and wanted to install it on here to see if it would run better than my pc... well when the installation gets to about 23%, a window pops up and say, "a problem occurred while trying to tranfer the file 'D:\CSBin\TS2BodyShop.exe' from the media. Do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?" Could this be a problem with the disk? having to try to clean it better... or.... what?

I would try cleaning it first before anything else. Use a soft, smooth cloth and give it a gentle quick wipe. If this doesn't work try a 'disc repair kit'.

All I can tell you is that for that particular card its not supported by the game, the Nvidia cards that have been okayed for Sims2 game use are:
Nvidia® Geforce series (GeForce2 and better)
GeForce2
GeForce3, 3 Ti
GeForce4, 4Ti, MX 420, 440
GeForce FX 5200, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, 5950
GeForce 6600, 6800

I am not saying that the 5500 will not work, you just will most likely have to live with the lower game performance. Does this happen on all lots? Or just larger ones? Or when you have been playing a long time? I recommend if you have downloads -try removing some of them, especially new meshed items (as opposed to Maxis recolors), some may be lagging your game. Also, try fiddling around with your Game settings to see what works with your video card as all games are different. It just may end up to be that you can't use edge scrolling or you will have to live with the slowness.

yah I'll try cleaning it again... and will most likely need a repair kit... its not that badly scratched... but I guess it's enough to not work... suckiness. Is there any other causes for the problem, or is that the most likely one?

Well its usually caused by the information not being read properly and that is why it can't find that file to install. So that is why I recommend trying to clean your disc and or use the repair kit first as its usually that.
