Sims 2: Double Deluxe loading problems

<< < (2/2)

Kim_Hunter:
Well when you place the disc in the drive is definitely running, it immediately brings up the install menu, and I have no expansion packs or Sims 2 at all, I bought this because it came with Sims 2 and two expansions.

That may well be the clue needed; sounds as if autoplay is enabled, which would automatically bring up the install  program whenever the disk is accessed.

Tell you what, try doing this (all of the following is easily reversible and in any case will do no harm to your computer):

Remove the disk from the drive.

Open My Computer, then right-click on the disk drive, then left-click on 'Properties' in the right-click menu.

When the Properties box opens up, click on the tab at the top labeled 'Autoplay.'

Scroll down in the 'content type' field and choose 'Mixed Content.'

Then click on the 'Select Action to Perform' option to enable it, then scroll down the list of actions to 'Take No Action' and choose that.

Then click OK.

See if that fixes you up.

Took a tad longer then usual for the error message to come up but it still did

ancienthighway:
Have you rebooted your computer since installing?

Kim_Hunter:
Okay I must be stupid because now it works fine  ;D
