-* CloneCD question + Sims trouble *-
 

When I installed CloneCd it said that I can't use the hide cd-r media and amplify weak sectors since I'm located in the US. How can I use those features? Do I need to download a non-US version?

Also, I copied The Sims, and am trying to run it on XP, and it's doing the damndest things. For a week, it worked fine. Then XP started giving me error reports when I tried to start it up.

So....I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Windows and loaded the game back up and it worked fine. Now, after a couple of days, it's doing the same thing. My girlfriend likes to use a money cheat code while playing. Could that be the problem???? Cuz I'm clueless.

Please help me out. Thanks.

Could somebody plz help me?

My system specs are as follows:

Iwill 333 Mobo
AMD 1600+
512 mb Crucial DDR ram
60 gig seagate hd
Lite-on 24x cd-burner
Geforce 3 ti200
Windows XP

I'd really like to figure out how to get The Sims to work and how to use hide-cdr media and amplify weak sectors in clonecd.

Thanks.

To enable AWS and Hide CD-R Media, change you regional settings in your Control Panel to Canada or elsewhere.

Thanks. I'll do that.

So nobody else has had any problems with a backed-up Sims on WinXP?

no problems here. if you have problems with the backup and not the original, you have a shitty backup.

Could it be WinXP? Theres some troubles with the new Windows and playing certain games.

Yep, could be. Right click main.exe > properties > Compability mode (Win98, me).

just for the record, sims has never crashed on me, and never needed a compatibility fix. im kind of curiuos as to why yours doesnt work. did you install and play from the original disk ?

also, no need for hide cd-r media on the sims
