hi, i'm having an issue installing sims 2 onto my laptop, i've checked, double checked, and triple checked all of my system settings and i'm almost positive i have everything i need... however, i can install disks 1 and 2 but when i put in disk 3 it never picks it up. my cd drive just keeps making this constant clicking for a long time and then an error comes up on the screen saying there was a problem downloading "file whatever" and so i take out the disk and gently clean it w/ a cloth until it's spotless, and then i put it in and it doesn't work. then, last night i tried to copy the files directly to the hard drive...and disk 3 DID load and copy to it, but then i go to autorun on disk 1 and it just tells me to re-do the entire installation. ok, so after this, i completely uninstalled everything, and i tried the whole installation over again, thinking that disk 3 would finally download. first 2 disks download fine, and then i put in disk 3 and the exact same thing happened, and has been happening the last hundred times i've tried this. Help would be very much appreciated. thanks
