My Game Won't Play
Pierre:
Did you check to see if your anti virus program is not blocking your sims2 game because of a hidden virus, me my sims 2 was block by my avg anti virus saying that i had 2 eps that contain virus but i no longer have this problem anymore. And in term of loading your game i had a similiar problem with my mansion and garden ep and the solution i took to fix it was to do a full reboot of my computer and then loaded my game and it loaded just fine. ;)
SenkoTwiik:
Okay, now my antivirus and firewall are off.
That brought autorun back.
Let's see if the game will install.
UPDATE:
The autorun comes up, but the game never runs even when I click autorun.
caffeinated.joy:
Did you try accessing the CD through Explorer and double clicking the exe file?
SenkoTwiik:
I messed with my computer last night and I got autorun to come back AND work. So I have
Sims 2
Seasons
University
Bon Voyage
installed properly.
For some reason, with Nightlife, while installing it, the installation always gets stuck at 26% and I don't know why that is. I need a little help on this one.
With Open for Business, the autorun came up, but the game didn't play. This was yesterday, though and I haven't tried it since.
As for the other EPs, I'm going to try them out today.
Joy, by explorer, do you mean Internet Explorer, or the computer C: paths mentioned before?
UPDATE:
Open for Business worked this morning, and so did Pets, now I am trying Freetime.
Theraven:
explorer.exe is one of the programs that makes windows run (spesifically, the user interface). I've had it crashing a couple of times and the desktop icons disappeared...
If you can install the games, then I doubt it's the disk itself.
I think joy means the task manager. Either ctrl-alt-delete to get it up, or (with win7) right-click the task bar. You can run programs directly with it. Under "programs", choose "new task" and write in the name of the program itself (such as explorer.exe for explorer, or sims2ep6.exe for Bon Voyage)
Or she is talking about the path to the exe file for the game
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Bon Voyage\TSBin\Sims2EP6.exe (as Bon Voyage seems to be your latest)
Try clicking on this file and see if your game starts then.
Not sure if you said it, but which operative system do you run? (XP/Vista/win7/MacOS/Linux/etc...)
And which antivirusprogram do you use?
