This is going to seem like a really stupid question, and my computer tells me why, but I'm still confused and would really like help.

I got a MacBook Pro a couple weeks ago (this is my first Mac) and have been Sim-less since then. Well, today I got the Sims 2 for Macs. Got home, installed it, tried to start it. I get this message:
"The Sims 2 requires at least 1 MB of free disk space.
Free up some space on your local disk and then re-launch The Sims 2."

I don't know how I don't have enough free disk space. And, given that I don't have enough, I can't seem to free up enough space. Any suggestions on what I should do (and where do I go to see how much space I really do have)?

Thanks!

Your trying to start the game from the disk. You need to start it from the HD.

Open Finder, Macintosh HD/The Sims2, then the icon for the game.

Thank you very much! I can play my Sims now! *dances*
