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?
