Alright, csgal, heres your live saving problem of the day, why wont my The Sims 2 autorun or manually run, like Run >> D:/Run it always says I need to insert a disk into D:/ drive.

Are you using Windows, or another Unix/Linux?

Er, that last post was me. Silly SP2 security...

windows xp home

Does any other CD autorun? You might have autostart disabled, either through setting or through system corruption.

I'll move this to the appropriate section as soon as the problem becomes evident.

Em, the Verizon Disc autorun that i have for my internet, but neither the game disc or dvd works, but really, i dont have a dvd drive, so the pc is really un-necessary for the dvd.

If you pop a data disk in the drive and wait a little bit, does the dialogue box pop up asking what you want to do, or explorer open up showing you a list of the disk contents?

If you pop a music CD in, does it pop up a dialogue box asking what you want to do or else the disk start playing music for you?

Should either or both of these conditions be the case, then you have system corruption and need to fix up your Windows installation.



If it's simply the Sims2 CD which won't work for you and everything else does, then you have one of two problems:

* The Sims CD itself is a dud or...
* Your CD drive is either a brand which has trouble with the Sims2 game's copy protection system or is faulty and in need of replacement.

I dont think its neither one, the game is fresh and brand new and the drive, 'em, not sure, I contacted EA, which should be getting back with me soon, thanx neway.

I also have The Sims 2 (DVD edition tho). It dosnt autorun with me too, but in the manual, it says it might not autorun by itself. I just go to run and enter e:/autorun or go to My Computer, right-click on the drive with the disc and click on autoplay. works fine for me that way.

Thats doesnt even work, I am getting so frustratewd, I am 10 seconds from breaking the stupid disc.
