Sorry honey, we're going around in circles here. You said you had Nero 6 express installed. Nero and other CD burning software uses a convention known as as DLA (Drive Letter Access) whcih is sometimes incomaptible with other software (including some games). see: http://forums.thesimsresource.com/archive/index.php/t-249339.html http://rollyo.com/search.html?q=disable+dla&uid=22986&sid=81926
It's working fine now, i deleted NERO compleetely, and it works fine now Thank you all so much for your help, and i look foward to getting to know some of you better in other forums. Thankyou
