    Ouch?
    Downloaded it as in torrents, kazaa whatever?
    There is your problem you downloaded a dodgy copy.
    Buy it, I bought it the day it cam out and it's well worth the money.
    Also sometimes some applications will not load properly if you do not uninstall them properly.
    Try getting rid of the files in registry as well..... just might work also in my documents where the save files are.

    Hmm strange.
    So it will not let you install it till the end. I've had it for a while and never had a problem. The only thing i can think of is.
    Well sometimes When i install reinstall vice city, max payne 2 and such i get prompted to insert dics 2 let's say which is also play disc. I kept clicking ok, rebooted and worked fine. Try that and also you may want to keep in mind when punching in serial number found inside the case on left hand side sometimes if you misstype it will funilly enough let you install but cause the problems. If none of those work then im puzzled. Forget the egistry, and for C:\Documents and Settings (directory of game) blah blah sims2 where it actually saves your game and ingame shots taken, you should be able to find that.
