Sime 2 Double Delux - rosleck - 17-01-2009 03:24 PM
I bought thru Amazon Sims 2 double delux. It arrived yesterday and I cannot install the game. My step daughters PC exceeds the system requirements to play. After I install the game it had me install the store. When I try to run the game a DOS box pops for s second and then nothing. I updated all of my drivers, direct x and went into the task manager to shut down all unneeded back ground apps and still the same result.
Help!

Do you already have The Sims 2 on that computer? And have you tried not to install the store?

It was a first time clean install.
I tried to lode the game but it made it to the splash screen and then said I needed to load the store to go on.

That is just really weird. I just looked on google and I couldn't find anything either. Have you tried to reinstall the store?
Re: Sime 2 Double Delux - rosleck - 17-01-2009 11:04 PM

wow o_o Well, I've never heard it being required to have the store installed just to play... Maybe someone else will be able to offer suggestions. Have you tried to reinstall it?

Did you disable your anti-virus software?
