It seems to be all intact. I've checked my ISO file size--does 5.55 GB sound right?
That's the right size.
Unrelated question -- I downloaded the razor version and my antivirus program tells me there's a virus in sims3setup.exe. Can anyone a non-virusy version of this file? Thanks
edit: Scratch that. I found that I could open sims3setup.exe with WinRar, extract the real setup file and delete the virus (codec.exe) (Thanks Kyna, you answered my question as I was editing this post.)

See if you can open sims3setup.exe with winzip or winrar (or whatever unzip software you are using). If you can, you'll find the real sims3setup.exe inside the bad file.

Out of curiosity, those playing the game with ATI Radeon HD cards, are you able to turn every graphical option to the highest? I can turn up every option except for edge smoothing. I'm getting smooth lines, obviously, but it's also giving me sims with no hair...or bald tops, in any case. Just curious, because Sims 2 was able to handle all of the options turned up, and I never got any weird effects to go with it.
It also seems that those of us with HD audio cards are having sound issues, somewhat.
My card is an HD 2400, and no, I've had no issues at all, and I do have all settings on high. I was a little concerned when I read on here that some peoples' cards/computers were overheating, and mine is one of those little slender Dells with not much space inside (Inspiron 530S,) and nothing impressive in the way of fans, but I've run the game for hours with no problems at all.
One thing might be worth noting though--or might be irrelevant, but I'll mention it anyway. I upgraded my drivers a few months ago and immediately started experiencing problems with Sims 2. I downgraded back to the 8.530 drivers, but not before reading some complaints that the new 9.x drivers seemed to be causing some peoples' video cards to run much hotter than they had before upgrading. I have no idea if that was an issue that was fixed with subsequent drivers, or if it was an issue that was imaginary in the first place, but I'm still using the 8.530 driver and having no graphical issues with either game, and no overheating.
