I had that problem too but my stepdad fixed it by installing a patch where you dont need the cd. It works now but now I cant build anything...
simswontstart: id search the forum since this has been discussed a couple times from what i can tell. sweetartfreak: that is an unofficial patch is why. and it is not allowed to be discussed here since its related to the warez version of the game.
