sims 3 full build1.package doesn't match and others to follow

[dorkapalooza]

I have run "can you run it" and appear to be in good shape.  The install gets about 75% done and alerts me that there is a problem with my cab files and to contact software co.  Of course there isn't anything on the SIMS3 site to help... Any help would be great.  I wasn't really expecting to be up until 4 am...  oh well.

I will post the rest later...  they all relate to the files not matching?

Simple take the disk back to where you got it, And get an exchange. Cab files are a form of compression and the disk is ether dirty ot has a bad sector on that cab..

Definitely agree with that assessment.

Sounds like a bad CD/DVD. Take it back to exchange for a new one. Keep in mind to bring the receipt with you.

Okay, we exchanged it... Loading new disc... fingers crossed.
Thanks guys...

Okay, update...
new disc, same error ( i could hit, ignore, abort, or retry) I hit ignore.  It let me load the game and then after the intro and loading begain it crashed.   What now?
I rechecked my specs, I am in good shape, could use the faster processor, but it exceeded minimum requirements, sames for graphics card?

I have now defragged, cleaned, turned off all unecessary programs.  I have only seen one posting on the internet that responds to this issue.  I purchased my copy at Target, exchanged there without any hassle. 

thanks again in advance for any help

Do you have any disk Emulators running during install. if so turn them off.

[dorkapalooza]

I don't know what disc emulaters are? sorry.  I swear it took many hours to clean end every extra process, etc... But it finally works. it is so damed slow though.  I am wondering if I have to have the dwm. process running to play.. it's taking a lot of Whatever its called lol.  I think I am in the clear but apparently need a newer computer! Argh.  this one is only two... =(

are you using a tobisha computer? they have a DVD player that been giving people problems installing. if so go to The sims 3 page Hit the Help button at tope right of screen when it comes up Select (What steps can I take to attempt to correct a 'Disc Authorization Error'? ) This has steps to try.
Other then that I can think of only 2 other things to try. they are try installing in safe and or administrator mode.
