i know that this is not really any thing to do with psp however i will tell you anyway, when i installed my original cd version into my new laptop it said there was compatability problems,it started up fine but as soon as i asked it to do something it froze so i restarted my comp then i tried to start it up again and it just wouldnt do a thing and came up with a little box saying "the sims 2 cant start because of compatability problems"

any one know how to fix it???????

P.s my comp runs on vista

If you still have the game box, check it and find out to see if it's compatible with Vista.

no it was made when vista wasnt around so it probably wont work, know any way to get round it

Did you try running it in WIndows XP SP2 compatibility mode? Just right click the shortcut > compatibility > Tick the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and then select Windows XP SP2 from the drop down menu.

yeh but is yours the cd version or the dvd version?

i dont remember.... It came with 4 disks

If it came with 4 disks it's the CD version, No DVD release has ever been more than 2 disks on PC, but lost Odyssey was 4 on the 360.

4 HD DVD discs? Dam, how much space do those things hold. 30GB or so right?

What? lol No just dual layer DVD's... 8.4GB or so.

Oh. Lol, I must have had a bad source >_<. Is there a difference between Dual layer DVD's and Dual Layer HD DVD's?
I think a dual layer Blu Ray is 50 GBs?

I think I heard MGS4 is a 50GB game.

Mmmm o yeaaaa. You have regular DVD's and you have HD DVD's. HD DVD's haven't been around forever, why do you think HD DVD's officially lost the war between bluray just recently.
