| 406602 | 2005-11-23 22:48:00 | read this forum thread (www.windowskb.com) Looks like it is copy protection kicking it. you'll have to: - find a firmware upgrade for your drive if there is one - find yet another patch for the game (or at least complain to EA) - use a different drive - find ye no cd "patch" (I'm not advocating piracy here) |

| 406603 | 2005-11-24 00:01:00 | - find ye no cd "patch" (I'm not advocating piracy here) Cracks have worked for me virtually everytime I've had a problem with a game (legally purchased of course). Interesting really. |

| 406604 | 2005-11-24 02:59:00 | Best advice is... give up on Sims. It's only for woosies :p | Greg (193) | ||
| 406605 | 2005-11-27 17:12:00 | I got my problem fixed. For some reason it was the image. But when I made a mini image off my sims 2 CD that worked out for me. So now it works. But in order for it to work I have to ; - Start Sims 2 without any image mounted - when it says insert cd I have to mount BOTH CD images - then restart the game that lets it run fine |

| 406606 | 2006-02-06 17:48:00 | how exactly did u do that, because i am experiencing the same problem with my sims 2 game in the multilanguage? | cmr3 (9280) | ||
| 406607 | 2006-02-09 23:44:00 | As far as I know you must use Daemon Tools 3.47 with all emulation options on I had the same problem, I ended up reinstalling windows and found out a few days later :waughh: |

| 406608 | 2006-04-13 08:50:00 | I had the same problem with the sims 2 failing to load-- I think the solution would work universally for any game. I'd get an error, including ~df394b.tmp somewhere in a mass of text. I'm using an original store-bought cd, but I also use daemon tools 4.w/e for other games. I found that the problem was that daemon tools was trying to emulate securerom and other CD security software by default. I fixed the problem easily loading up daemon, right clicking, hitting "emulation", and selecting "all options off". That solved it for me. If you're using other emulation software, try doing the equivalent if you have the same problem. | marcusaurelius (9282) | ||
| 406609 | 2006-04-13 09:44:00 | I see from your screenshot that you have a different theme installed. Do you use Windowblinds at all? I had windowblinds installed on my laptop and some games wouldn't run. I uninstalled/deactivated it and they ran ok. Twas a bit of a bummer till I discovered the uxtheme.dll patcher, so can now select different themes without Windowblinds. |

| 406610 | 2006-04-14 05:45:00 | just use the REAL cd instead of the image with daemon? i mean REALLY....or just buy the game instead of downloading it, if you didnt download it, and you bought it and are using daemon tools for more convience, just use the cd, if you borrowed the cd's to install, and gave them back, find a crack for it(ill have a look soon for one), it prolly has safe disc or some anti virtual drive in it. | jesse_jax (9283) | ||
| 406611 | 2006-04-14 05:55:00 | And why is this thread even allowed to continue seeing as its a "Help me with my pirated game not working" thead. Oh yeah too broke to buy a DVD Rom, they're dirt cheap now. |
