Reinstalling my Sims 2 game, every time it gets to 73% done, a message will pop up... that says this.... "A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'E:/EP2/TSData/Res/NeighborhoodTemplate/… from the media. Do you want to rety to copy the file, or cancel the installation?" Then it gives two buttons, a retry button and a cancel button. When I hit the retry button, the message goes away but five minutes later it pops back up. Does anyone know what I should do?
Make sure there is no dust, fingerprints or scratches on the disk. Try copying the CD to your hard drive first and running the install from that.
You can go in and copy the files it's calling for by right mouse clicking the E drive and then click explore and then find the files it's wanting and put them where they go. You might go over to the Sims 2 Wikia and looking around there as there is a ton of information there .
