Trouble installing Sims 2 Deluxe

Hi. Is Sims 2 installed in your pc? Before you can install any expansion pack you have to install first the sims 2. Try installing first your sims 2 software then install all the expansion pack that you have. Hope this helps.

1. Go into the folder that contains the game.
2. Right click on the game and select "uninstall".
3. If the option "uninstall is not there then go into the game menu and select un install.

I think university is the first or second expansion pack. I know there are issues if the expansions are not installed in order of their release. if you have say, seasons or freetime and then install university, it may not run correctly. You have to uninstall the packs or the game and re-install them in correct order. Yes, it's a big pain but I had to do it twice.
Install the SIMS2, or double deluxe whatever you have then follow this order with exception of say nightlife if you have have double deluxe because it comes with the original game.

your problem may be a graphics card issue. Did it work with the expansion packs or start problems when you installed the expansions?

maybe this link will be helpful if the above does not work.

Double Deluxe is the first disc, you don't need any other disc. It should install.

At the back of the games it should have a number on it like 1 2 3 you put them in order the one that says 1 you install first then you carry on the same ..

Looks like your cd rom has died replace it and install the sims 2.

maybe you need to download a crack or patch
or you should mount it wite demontools or somthing

2 disc nhl hockey by ea sports for pc. everytime I try to play it keeps saying install the correct disc in to the drive and click ok. I do but it doesnt recognise it. Is there something I can do?

You must uninstall sims2 first if you have it.
