So let me understand this:
Your first copy of the Sims 2 is a pirated version while the 2nd one is an original? From what it seems, your computer is more than capable of playing Sims 2, my computer is far worse than yours and yet it can play Sims 2 without any problems and glitches. I think if you had installed a pirated version, uninstall it and reinstall it with an original version, it could have caused some problem but that is what I think though
They're both original versions, not pirated, and what happened was I cracked the Disk 1 to the first copy of the game. Well then I went and got another version. The Disk 1 that came with the 2nd copy wouldn't work with the first version, so I uninstalled it and tried again with the 2nd version, and I get the same thing: The Sims 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Nothing opens, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game many times. I even ran ccleaner to delete any other files the game left behind, and installed again; no luck. The sad thing is that the game ran on this computer before.
Uninstall the old copy of the Sims 2. Delete the folder and all of the contents remaining. Then open up regedit by going to start -> run -> regedit. Perform a search for sims or the maker of sims and delete any keys that come up that are legit. I would backup the registry before you do anything just incase something happens. Then try to reinstall the software using the new cd. If this doesnt work, i would suggest going to the SIms 2 website and find the manual uninstall instructions and do them but it shouldnt really be anything different than what i said.

The sad thing is that the game ran on this computer before. So if the games you got aren't pirated version then it should not be a compatibility issue. So the 2 games you got have different serial numbers and probably you can't install disc 1 of the first game and disc 2, 3, 4 of the second game. I think you should contact Sims 2 and see what they can do for you. But what fffanatics said is right, you must make sure the registry of your installed Sims 2 with the first disc has been cleared and you should then install the game using your 2nd bought game. PS: I feel that whenever you get any game, make an image of the CD and store in your computer. That way, you won't have any problems about having a cracked disc or whatever. When you want to play the game, just mount that image and everything would be fine
do you have direct x 9.0c and new graphic card?
QUOTE(ROL @ Sep 13 2006, 05:37 AM) do you have direct x 9.0c and new graphic card? I believe it is not a software or hardware problem our friend is facing at the moment. The game has worked before, but due to his minor glitch, the first disc was broken. So he went to buy a new copy and tried installing, it doesn't even work now and his system is showing some irregularities when the application is run.
Well there was no registry keys to be found relating to the Sims 2 at all. Any more suggestions?
Perhaps you could try calling up EAGames Customer Support, tell them your situation and maybe they can provide you information as to how you can fix it?
I had Sims 2 installed before and it worked fine but then it got deleted off my computer and so I reinstalled Sims Deluxe Edition so I could then install Sims 2 but now it wont do anything. Everytime I put the disc in the computer it makes noise like its going to work but it doesnt do anything, nothing pops up or anything.
What am I doing wrong? help me get it to work. -question by Heather Latest Entries

Is it possible to install The Sims 2 on a computer without the disc (I lost it but I still have the serial code)? It is installed on other computers.
Help With Installing Sims 2 Basically, for christmas I recieved a new Dell Inspiron 1525. It struggles to run The Sims 2 due to its graphics card.
