Can you play a different game using its own CD in your CD drive to see if it works with other games?

One more thing to make sure:

Does your CD or DVD player make odd noises when you run something in it?

Okay, there are probably a lot of things that could happen:

1. The CD/DVD is scratched up to the point the CD/DVD player probably can't read the disc.
2. If you're computer savvy, you can check the cable and wire connections between the CD/DVD player and the motherboard.

*But you already mentioned that you can play other games just fine with the CD/DVD player. So #2 isn't necessary.

Depending on when you bought Sims 3, you can take it back to exchange for a new one as long as you have the original receipt and explain that you were having issues with the CD/DVD not starting Sims 3 up.

There is one other question. Do you use Pescado's Awesome Mod and a configuration file with the No CD check enabled?

Re-download Riverview since it sounds like you got a corrupted file when you downloaded Riverview.
