SIMS 2 (PC) wont work on vista

Same thing happened to me here. I installed the game, copied the crack over, start the game it worked, exit and when load the game again I got the message. No matter what I do now the game won't work. Also happens when installed it on my friends PC too so I guess The SIMS 2 suxxxxxxxxxx

this is correct this is what i done, i was hoping to install the game after extracting the files from the iso, then after realising the game needed the disc in the drive i copied the files to disc as a data disc and the disc label was 'new' not 'sims2' as it should have been. Anyway it worked fine on my kids pc with xp installed and the disc label named 'new' but on my girfriends laptop the disc has to be named 'sims2' to work properly and to install the update.

thanks all for the help, i got there in the end, lesson learned i will just burn the iso's to disc in future. cheers

A lot of games wont work on vista, i run a gameserver for an old game wolfenstein enemy territory all vista users only get kicks cause of an anti cheat aplication
