Canoodle Coffee, anyone? Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 6,081 Thanks: 435 in 13 Posts 4 Achievements	http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?...Voyage_Launcher Have you tryed bypassing the launcher? It's been buggering up games for quite some time. Also, double check your disk is clean and free of scratches. It almost sounds like your drive isn't reading the disk correctly. ETA: you don't happen to have any disk emulating software installed like Clone CD, Nero, Alcohol etc ? Securom might be throwing a wobbly. Just a thought.

There are a few people around here that are probably better at these things than me. I'm sure someone will pop in to offer an opinion.

G.O.C. What just happend? Join Date: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,764 2 Achievements	Sounds like a "secuROM" issue to me. the only "legal" thing you can do is, A) get a new disk. or, B) contact the "secuROM" people, they may be able to help! (clutching at straws here)

The only software I've installed is PSPX and the Sims 2. Sometimes the game will run, but increasingly I get this error. It's really frustrating because I have the original cd in the drive and every other cd works perfectly fine. Is there anything I can do so I can play my game? And yes, I have tried bypassing the launching with no sucess.

madie Lab Assistant Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 103	i've got the same problem. it happened once, and then again, and now it's every time. it takes forever to actually play the game b/c i have to reboot and reboot and reboot until it'll work. edit i can't play it at all now. i've just rebooted 4 times in a row and i get the same error. the only thing i found was: this which just says make sure your disc is clean and this is how to run a log and email us the info and MAYBE we'll get back to you. it's due to SecuRom being installed on your computer in order to run BV.

madie Lab Assistant Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 103	yea, the only option i can think of is to just buy a new disc (which is RETARDED b/c i already own the d*mn game). but if i DO buy a new one, will it work since the registration number on the new disc will differ from the registration number on the old one?

Canoodle Coffee, anyone? Join Date: Aug 2006 Posts: 6,081 Thanks: 435 in 13 Posts 4 Achievements	Yes, it will work. I own two copies of each game owing to having two homes and I only registered each game once...the second copy at my second home has never been registered and plays just fine. Registration of the game is not mandatory.

starry8t2 Test Subject Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 29 Thanks: 257 in 4 Posts 5 Achievements	I have had this same problem and this is what I find works. I bought my copy from HMV... Load the game before you have the disk in the drive. It will ask you to insert the disk, do it. If it fails and asks for the original disk try again. It's quite frustrating as I don't have any kind of software like that or "bad" copies of the sims and it makes you look like you were a cheap ass and wouldn't buy a proper copy! I like the way EA don't wanna help as well.. grumbles
