start up
BeosBoxBoy:
Ok - it appears that there are two potential problems here:
RazedinNeon - you need a new CD/DVD-reader for your computer, the read-diode on yours is burned out
Kendra - you don't mention if you are playing on a Mac, are you?
kendra:
No I am not playing on a mac, just a regular pc.
kendra:
Okay first things first, what is a read diode and my drivers are somewhat new, I brought new ones in 2005, so could they still be the problem, because it's still doing the same thing, loading on some days and others not.HELP me please.
veash:
I would recommend using a lense cleaner for your CD/DVD reader before replacing it. I have a similar problem with OFB startup. I get the splash screen then an error message saying blah blah blah failed to initialize properly. I haven't pinpointed the problem yet. I've done system restores, clean installs and maual patches with defrags between every EP, and even removed and defragged then replaced the page file. I have found a workaround however. I have to reboot my system with the OFB disk in the drive, then as soon as the desktop comes up, hit the OFB shortcut while the system is still loading up all the other startup items. Once it's up and running, I can close it and start it up again with no problems. I suspect it has something to do with Norton Anitvirus, but i get the same problem with it disabled as well as enabled, and it's a quirky thing that only happens once in awhile.
kendra:
Okay everyone who was so great at trying to help me, I think I found a solution to my problem. I log off and created a new screen for just my sims and nothing else, no music downloads, no antivirus, no internet, just the sims and it comes on everytime, when I want to look at other things, I log off and go back to the owner screen and everything is fine, so thanks everyone so much, hopefully this will work.
