I uninstalled everything, then reinstalled The Sims 2, and University.
But now, when I am trying to reinstall all of my other EPs, there is a problem with the AutoRun. It won't autorun the disk.

and it says
c:\autorun.exe
d:\autorun.exe
c:/autorun.exe
d:/autorun.exe

are all invalid paths. Any ideas?

I will run the Securom removal.

Dullahan, It just happened on its own. I edited sims in SimPE, but those same sims I edited were not the ones (or even related to the ones) that disappeared.

UPDATE: If I did this right, SecuROM is now off my computer. But it said I can't use my disk anymore on that site or SecuROM will just be added back on. If I can't use my disk, how do I play?

One more thing. Do I uninstall and reinstall my whole game, or just my last EP?

I don't think I did.
Also, I should have REALLY mentioned this earlier, but it slipped my mind and I don't really know how.

But prior to my game having this little running problem, I would go to play in a house and one or two sims would be missing. Like they would completely not exist. Their files are still in SimPE, but the other sims don't have any knowledge of them, and they are basically deleted in my game. It wouldn't be like this with all my households, just a couple.

Do you think this may be related?

Okay, I experimented a little with my antivirus and firewall.
I took the firewall off, and scanned the game with my antivirus. It found no threat, but still would not work with either of these items done.

I don't think any of my firewalls would interfere with my game. I'm not sure though. I haven't changed any settings since before when my game worked.

If I uninstall and then reinstall, and save my downloads and neighborhood files, will my game keep them just like before (considering I put them back in my newly installed game folder)?

Thanks guys. I will try these things.

Also, like Theraven suggested, if this doesn't work, I will try to remove my game files.
But I have a lot of downloads and saved bodyshop projects. Is it safe to remove the game files? My custom stuff won't get messed up?

UPDATE:
I tried these ideas.
I went to the EXE file from the path suggested.
Clicking on the exe still would not let me start my game. It told me again that there was no disk.
I also tried removing my game folder out of My Documents. Same thing.
I'm not sure what's up with this thing.

Update: I tried to right click on the icon, and I couldn't find what you were talking about. That option wasn't available. Here's my screenshot.

I have deleted cache files.
I have cleaned out dust.
I have waited for the autorun to start.

But I haven't done exe file, or moving the game files.

Bodyshop still works, as well. I will try the other things and see if they work.

I tried it on my mom and my brother's computers.
It's not installed on either of them, but the option to auto run comes up at least.

I don't know if it's something with my computer or my game disk, but lately, my game won't play. It just tells me that there's no disk in the drive and to insert it, and I'm sure I have my game in. Yet it won't start up. If I try maybe 30 or 40 times in a row, the game will eventually play, but I want to fix the problem so it starts up on one try.

My disk isn't incredibly scratched, nothing heavy. All the scratches are light and shallow.

My disk drive is a little shakey when I eject, but it plays other disks just fine.

How do I find out what's wrong with my game?

And if it's the disk that's broken, will getting a new disk erase all of my game progress?

HELP!

Both! Big eyes if I have to choose.

Internet Explorer or Firefox

Granted, but it's only 30 minutes worth.

I wish my prayers were answered.

A lot of my stuff got deleted and I'm trying to find an outfit I had. I know I got it somewhere on either the booty or graveyard, but I can't remember exactly where. The outfit was a long white hoodie (thigh length) with little hearts on the front, and it had gold leggings (I think, either gold or turquoise) and knee length heeled cowboy boots. They were a light brown color. I don't have a pic of it but if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please point me in the right direction.

I saw 2 different requests for sideways baseball hats, but both were for guys. I looked on MTS and I only saw a visor hair for girls.

I'm looking for a good quality (not Maxis or blocky) sideways baseball hat with long hair for my sim girls. If anyone knows where one is, please let me know.

Thanks!!

I noticed that the kids can't play guitars for some reason, and I looked for a modded guitar but had zero luck. Are there any guitars that are modded so that kids can play them? I have all EPS.
