Re: Windows Fails?

Hello and thanks. Yes I do meet them, I have been playing it for awhile now,
but I did a system restore already and it still won't read. The report says
that my windows is not compatable with Sims 2 but it really is. So windows
won't let it run or reinstall.

Do I need to do a repair on my XP? Or will that make no difference? At a
loss truly. I have no idea how to make them "see" each other as compatable?
But my sims1 and all other programs work.

Thanks again

If so...

Since that problem just started happening recently, try a System Restore.
