I bought the sims 2 dvd because they were out of the cdrom version at the store. I'm able to install and play it on my laptop just fine. Only thing is that my laptop is slow compared to my DT, but my DT does not have a dvdrom drive

I cant afford to buy a dvdrom drive atm, so i'm trying to figure out a way to get it to run on my DT. I'm able to install it on my DT through sharing the dvd rom from my laptop on my network. I still cant run it because its reading the hardware on my DT :/ Any ideas ?
Thx
