Sims 2 won't install on my Computer!

[packerbacker]

Okay. I've been playing TS2 on a newer computer, and it works almost perfectly. Now, I'd like to install my gae on a slightly older computer, and it won't let me.

Here are my specs:

Windows XP Pro
NVidea 8500LE Videocard
9.24 GB Hard Drive Space Left
AMD Athlon Processor
698 MHz
256 MB RAM

There is also Windows Messenger that keeps trying to access the internet during the installation process.

The installation stops at Object Pack 09, and says that there was an error in the transfer of that file. After a look at what DID get installed, guess what was there. Object Pack 09! The computer didn't know it installed it, yet, it did.

Can somebody tell me what I can do?

Well, that sucks. Now I have to keep playing on the other computer. I live in Southeast Louisiana, and my area was hit hard by Katrina, but there are TONS of perectly fine computers on the streets, and maybe I acn find a good one. (hehe)
