i was just messing around with the files and i have done it

all i wanted to do was make the install think that the disk is in but its not and it wont ask me for the next disc it will carry on installing so i can put it onto dvd.

i have done it now anyway i just messed around with the files from the discs and copy them into the disc 1 folder.

if anyne one wants to know how i have done it just ask and i will say

Hi i am having the same problem, however i used isobuster to extract the iso files into seperate folders, disc1, disc2, disc3, and disc4. Now once i click the autorun on the first disc, it starts up and starts installing. I then get to the point where i have to insert disk two, i click run setup, under the disc2 folder, nothing happens. What can i do?or what do i need?

If you have the CD version on the game then there shoudl be 4 CD's in it. Make sure they are not under the manual. Many people don't look.

I purchased the Sims 2 PC version about a year ago when I had windows XP. However I got a new computer and I lost cd 1 of the game. Is there any possible way to download ONLY cd 1 as I have all the other cds? And what would be the best way to do that? Also, is the Sims 2 compatible with windows vista?
Thanks in advance

Get an replacement disc new or used (ebay, tec...). There's no other legal way. For sims 2 and vista take a look here.
