Disk Not Recognised - Won't Load Game (UPDATED)
Paperbladder:
Supposedly Alcohol 52% has a free version out now, and it's similar to Daemon Tools. However, since it's not 120% you're better off just using Daemon Tools because Alcohol 52% forces adware installation.
I found that I needed something like CureROM to bypass the SafeDisk protection on the disk, but I believe sd4hide does the exact same thing.
sintrinity:
I don't really know anything about hardware other than the basic necessities but I have occasionally had problems with our networked PCs reading the CDs.
It is so nice since I bought GL as an electronic download (wasn't really worth going to the store) and now I don't even have to worry about it. I trust my broadband connection much more than I trust not having CD problems.
I'm really going to miss starting up with no CD with the never-to-be-mentioned expansion.

Easy to fix -- just do a search here on 'daemon tools' and you'll find many, many threads on how to avoid having to use the CD after installing the game.
Ancient Sim:
I just happened to log into my other account and the CD-drive worked with a CD containing image files. I took it out and put my OFB disk in, but it wouldn't recognise that and even after I rebooted and put it back in, it still showed the folder for the image files disk. This is what happened with the other account when it started going wrong. What is puzzling is that it worked to start with, so I am now leaning very much towards a software problem.
Both accounts are exactly the same insofar as they're both administrator accounts with full privileges.
Does this help anyone work out the solution??? Could the fact that I recently set-up file-sharing with my son's computer upstairs have anything to do with it? It was working fine after I set it up, though. I've also noticed that whenever I right-click on the CD-ROM drive, it asks me if I want to write the files to a CD and I get an icon in the taskbar saying there are files waiting to be written to CD. Could the write & playback functions somehow have become mixed-up?
This is becoming increasingly frustrating.

Well, presuming you mean use Game Jackal, yes I can for now, but what happens when I want to install the furry EP that doesn't exist? What I am trying to avoid having to do is send the pc away, because without it I will start blubbering in a corner and will need that shrink guy. I'd have to start doing normal things like cleaning the house and talking to people. It'd only take an hour or so of that to send me completely over the edge.
Ancient, I totally empathize with you right now, except my problem is with the gameplay, I miss my sims and I can't play, I too am going to seen blubbering in a corner!! :'(
