Re: help! installing the sims 2 problem!
Could you tell us exactly what the error message was? What file was it?

In addition to what Phoebe has asked, do you have the latest drivers? Have you restarted? Have you tried canceling and then doing it?

Re: help! installing the sims 2 problem!
ok this is what it says exactly:
A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'TSData/Res/Sims3D/Sims12.package' from the media. do you want to retry to copy the file, or cancel the installation?

Re: help! installing the sims 2 problem!
Is this disk new or old? Has it been installed before?

Also, are your computer drivers up to date?

Re: help! installing the sims 2 problem!
i dont know what you mean by new or old, but this was my friends first, so yes it has been installed before, but she uninstalled it a while ago because it gave her a headache so she gave it to me. and yes everything is up to date.
