    Open for Business CD won't work!

    A few days ago I purchased Open for Business but my computer isn't reading the CD properly. The autorun isn't working at all. I went into My Computer and clicked autorun but it came up with an error message that read "you do not have the appropriate permission to access this item". I was able to take the CD back and get another one but the new doesn't work either. My CD drive is working fine because it reads my other Sims discs, just not this one. Am I doing something wrong or is it just something with my computer that won't read it? Any help would be appreciated:)

    Are you running Windows XP? If so, I think you're trying to install OFB in a limited account, which won't let you install anything. Try getting the administrator to install OFB for you. :)

    The account I'm trying to install it on is the administrator though:( I've tried doing everything but nothing's been working for me.

    Have you tried installing it on another account? Maybe you could temporarily make one of the other ones an Admin account and try it there?

    Hmm...well I tried that, and this time I got a different error message. It said that "Windows cannot locate this file. The disc may be corrupt or using a format that does not support windows". But how can that be? I exchanged my disc twice so it couldn't be corrupt.

    I'll be honest, I'm at a loss here, sorry. :( Maybe another helpful member would be able to chime in...?
