Do you have enough space on your computer? Are you logged in as administrator?

[Scorpion477]

yea the computer has lots of space and yes my friend is administrator of it

[cancon]

Is this a legitimate version of The Sims 2?

[Scorpion477]

yes it is

[cancon]

Hm. I read on another forum that someone with the same problem tried copying the disk and installing that and it worked for him, but I don't see how that would make a difference...

Not only that - I'm assuming you have the CD version - the game is 4 discs.

Sorry, Can't help...
