Title: Can't install sims 2 with Vista! Post by: amy5335 on June 19, 2008, 12:37:28 am I wasn't sure where exactly to post this, but hopefully someone can help me..
I just got a new laptop, it's a dell inspiron 1525 and I have windows vista home premium. I try to install the sims 2, and I get to the second disc, and I get an error message everytime. The message is: "A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'TSData\Res\Sound\Voice6.package" I read on the EA games website to try turning off my firewall, so I did. Didn't work. The graphics card I have is an Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 and for RAM I have 3062 MB. Someone help! I need my sims! Title: Can't install sims 2 with Vista!

What I had to do eventually was copy all the files to the hard drive and then go from there. I don't know if it will let you do it that way or not, it took forever. One thing that helped was browsing to the cd/dvd drive and right clicking on the sims 2 disk and choosing run as administrator. Hope that helps some.

Or, your CD/DVD has a problem reading a sector on the disc. Title: Can't install sims 2 with Vista! Post by: lewisb40 on June 21, 2008, 05:38:29 am I am not an expert, but since your problem is loading a sound part to the game, check your audio info. Like is it an on board (part of the motherboard) sound/audio bit, or do you have a sound card. I would look into a sound card for more power, the on board tends to suck. That's my opinion. :D

Most of the hits I got was, related to the graphics card. A few people tried and tried and finally got the game installed. Title: Can't install sims 2 with Vista!

Most of the hits I got was, related to the graphics card. The Intel Graphics Media Accelerator is an onboard graphics card and onboard graphics cards are not recommended for the Sims 2 or supported. Your other computer probably has a stand-alone grahics card. |
