Is it bit torrent?
SpaceDoll:
Did you try deleting groups.cache? Clicking on the icon and getting nothing is a syptom of a corrupted groups.cache file, isn't it?

Task Manager never shows any Sims 2 processes during this time (in the past when I had a game that crashed during loading there was usually a Sims2 process going on for a while at least).
Groups.cache always crashes the game after the process is showing.
ritaxis, have you tried replacing your .exe with a no-cd version? If so, does the .exe disappear yet again?
ritaxis:
I always delete groups.cache whenever I have a problem, or sometimes just because it looks at me funny.
The .exe didn't disappear a second time, though everything else was the same.
I'll look harder for securom if anybody can think of different places to look. Looking in the same places over and over and getting the same result is boring. I know I should put in the no-cd crack, but I keep getting sidetracked by the desire to stop massaging my computer and just go build something.
I'll do it next time: I'm late to bed now, after having in fact been sidetracked in that way. I love what I built, though.
Has anybody heard of securom files being in other places, or having other names? It seems to load okay now. I will run through the securom removal instructions again but if I can't find any securom files following those instructions, I won't know what to do.
Clitaxis is almost clever, because it refers kind of to my gender, but it would be more clever if it had more levels of wit to it. I don't have a real suggestion, though.
One last observation. During the last, successful, loading, task manager showed no sims2 processes running until the game was well into the scrolling-captions part of the opening sequence. That's different from how I remember things being.

Every time you run the game from the original exe or from the launcher you are reinstalling SecuROM on your machine. This is the purpose of the No-CD crack, so that you can run your game without adding malware like SecuROM.

Yes, I have read this. Every time I play my game I kick myself and I go to the securom instructions and do a search-and-wtf,there's nothing here to destroy!
