Have you tried burning using Windows? Windows can burn CDs without any 3rd party software by default. Try that.
Thanks for the advice, you would think that that would work but I have a Sony PC (ya never going that route again) and My particular version of XP doesn't let me burn DVD without other software. Like I can't just put a dvd in one drive and burn directly to my other drive, it simply will not do it. I have also tried putting blank DVD in the burner and adding files to burn, it never works. Yet another attempt by sony to make it difficult to make DVD. I could always burn CD's with or without Nero. Now sense securom I can't. I was told that the reason I can't burn like most can is my version of XP, which was why I had to buy Nero.

Ok I put in the no cd crack in my tsbin folder and renamed the olther one .bak. The game wont start, I just get a gray box with an x
Delete your groups.cache found in your sims 2 folder in My Documents. Then report back if that doesn't fix it.
*Snort* So you have a sony drive too? I remember that a lot of people were pissed because Securom attacked their sony drives as well.

ya real wonderful. I getting my next pc built from Micron (I live in Idaho) OK I tried the groups cache, still didn't work. Just get a gray box with a red X

I don't have BV or Freetime yet, but I was wondering as long as I got the no cd crack for when I play the game, would it be safe to go to the store, buy the game & install it with the original discs, or does just installing it put SecuRom on the computer?
Skye:
I bought the FT and installed it, then did the 'no cd crack' thing (to avoid more issues with securom). I then made a shortcut from that, cut that shortcut from the tsbin, and pasted it on my desktop. I have been playing it very well.
I'm still too 'un-awesome' to figure out the securom removal, but this way I don't do more damage to my machine.
hope I helped

Oh yeah, funny thing here. In looking at my machines? I have been running these games on an NVidia GeForce 4200 without any problems on the good one! Not sure if that helped anyone, but hey, it's information for future reference.
