| | Re: cd rom games Try right clicking the game, and select Properties. Then click on the Compatibility Tab. Select "Windows XP SP2" and click Ok. Launch the game and see if that works.

| | Re: cd rom games I am having the same problem with the Sims. I installed it a few days ago, everything worked wonderfully and then one day it just wouldn't load. Tells me that the program has to be closed. I uninstalled and made sure all game data was deleted, reinstalled, and still not working. Also tried all different compatibility modes. Why would it work fine one day and never work again?

However, why not go to http://www.gameburnworld.com/gameburnworld.htm Click on GAME FIXES to the left and download a No-CD file, so you no longer need to use the CDROM/DVD to play the game(s) Frenchy |
