274348 2004-09-21 08:15:00 I have installed The Sims 2; I have a good enough system also. When I put the CD in the Sims 2 starting screen comes up but the CD ROM Drive just keeps making weird noises that repeat over and over. It stays on that screen and doesn’t change; it will keep making those noises... I had problems with my CD ROM drive before but it will read everything else properly now. What is wrong with it?
Thanks
Mike

274352 2004-09-21 09:55:00 I heard somewhere that Sims 2 won't run if you have Nero, CloneCD or other CD Copying software installed.

Am trying to substantiate that though.

Meh. I only report the news (which the game company themselves espoused), however I don't play games so wouldn't know if there was any trugh in it.
