HELP!! I have a brand new Dell Dimension 8400 w/ xp media center as my OS.
When trying to install Sims 2, it continually freezes on the 2nd or 3rd CD at
the Control.Dat sections, TSData or something to do with Electronic Arts
Autorun problem etc. I am very frustrated with this and any help or
suggestions are greatly appreciated!
