Won't Install...!

	I wiped out my computer the other day and uninstalled the game and everything to get rid of all the crap. But, now, when my computer's clear of hacks, the game won't bloody well install! So...my question is: What softwares do I need to install The Sims 2: Double Deluxe without stopping in the middle of installation and saying 'Can't transfer file...'? It installs until 31% of the installation process and then just stops for a bit. Then the annoying pop-up message, well, pops up.

	Nah, I even checked it. It's really bugging me because I can't even enjoy this after bloody school.

	It really does sound to me as though your disc is scratched or at the very least needs a clean. I can't see any other reason why it wouldn't install unless your disc drive is damaged.

If you have nothing better to clean it with- I suggest using one of those glasses cleaning cloths, that are meant to get dirt out of fine little scratches and stuff. It's what my mom uses for her Cds when they start skipping xD

	eek Now I feel like an idiot. It was a problem with the disk. It got kinda all blurry on the shiny side and everything so it just stopped working. My dad just took one look at it, wiped the CD with his shirt and then put it back in the driver. I was half blushing, half laughing the entire time. Thanks for the help, though. SOLVED! neutral
