Meek_Monkey:
yes I have tried cleaning my cd.
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, I just mentioned it in the hope that it was the one thing you hadn't tried!
Meek_Monkey:
Thank you for the thought sometimes It is the last thing u think of
ZephyrZodiac:
Have you checked it for scratches? I just wonder if it is a damaged CD causing the problem. You could try installing just Sims 2 and see if you can run that on its own. If you can, it would seem likely that the CD for Uni has something wrong with it.
Meek_Monkey:
I found this on the bbs but it seems to slow the computer down but the game will work so it isnt cracked or strached al all. I would like to fix my problem another way instead.
try this, we've posted it before and it has helped others. You have an nvidia, just maybe it will help. It worked for us. This was on another site for another of maxis's games that has the same safedisc thing. Also for XP users, such as us.
Windows® 2000 users:
There is a known incompatibility with Macrovision™'s SafeDisc® (the copy protection mechanism Call of Duty™ employs) and motherboards with the nForce™2 chipset under Windows® 2000. To remedy the situation, do the following:
1) Locate the "My Computer" icon on your computer and right-click it.
2) Choose the "Manage" option.
3) Once the Computer Management program launches, select "Device Manager."
4) In the Device Manager, double-click "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers."
5) Right-click on "nVidia nForce 2(TM) SPP/IGP ATA Controller" and select "Properties."
6) Click on the "Secondary Channel" tab. If the Select Transfer Mode is set to "BIOS Default," click on the pull-down menu and select "PIO Mode."
7) Close all open windows and restart your machine when prompted
Yes I do have this type of motherboard so I will have to stick to this to play the sims 2 from now on. But if anyone knows of another soultion please inform me.
