Default The Sims 2 HELP!!!!!!

I just installed the sims 2 and whenever i put the disc in it comes up to the sims 2 screen then thats it, that screen disappears and nothing happens, and sometimes it comes up with this error box saying "The Sims 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience." I have sent the error report and havent found anything out from it. My computer meets all the system requirments and I know that game works cause it works just fine on my dads computer. whats the problem?

And also... does that disk have any scratches on it? Make sure all drivers on your computer are up to date.

Ok but what 3D card are you using, and what version# driver do you run it with?

Full system specs wouldn't hurt either.

The whole idea with "some" patches is to fix compatibility problems. The problems can be caused by certain configurations... Unless you and your dad have identical PC's with identical software, the patch idea is valid.

Do you have clonecd installed? For some reason the Sims 2 won't work if clonecd is installed.
