Sorry, I had answered this question over on the other thread but moved it here, had no idea how to move the thread. No, I'm not using a laptop.
I am using a PC built for me for multimedia applications. I have 2 gig of Ram, I have an invidia GeForce 7000 series graphics card and yes, with all that I can play any game. I had no problem playing the game with the original .exe
I am now getting that I need to insert a disk which would negate the purpose of the no cd.

heh... *think*.. great word, really means you don't have a clue... also securom is not 'put back on your pc'.. the exe is wrapped with securom.. sounds like you've been reading one of the sims fansites and started believing the crap..
well, then check for updated video drivers for your machine.. posting more information helps (especially the specifications of the machine you're trying to play it on)

No I don't have a clue, which is why I'm having to ask for help.
As I believe to use the original disk will most certainly reinstall SecuROM and this is why I need the no-cd, right! I am unable to play without the disk and this is what I want to do otherwise I wouldn't have downloaded the no cd.
Are you saying that SecuROM does not get put back on your PC if you use the original CD? I doubt very much if that's hype as that's how it got there in the first place. Maybe you just didn't understand what I wrote.
I'm not good on spec, I'm in multimedia not hardware, so not good on this.
What I can tell you is in the comment above. If you specify where to look I can give you as much info as you like on my specs. All I know is that I have a PC compatable for gaming and multimedia apps. I use an external hardrive for most of my storage so my PC has more than half of it's memory remaining and I have two gig of RAM. The graphics card is an NVidia GeForce, (7300)I believe
P.S. My problem with SecuROM was that it made my DVD drive pop in and out on it's own free will. Yes, I have virus checked with Norton 360, I have also scanned with spybot and adaware SE. Clean PC.

The last expansion pack I have is AL but I have the most recent stuff pack which is M&G and this one acts like an expansion pack, this is why there is a no cd for it. This was the one I launched with always.
I have checked and I have the most up to date drivers for my graphics card. I never even get a sluggish game with this graphics card and this is the first time I've been unable to play it.
Having restarted the PC this morning, it is now asking me for the original CD.
*Additional info* SecuROM also messed with my Nero and I'm finding it hard to burn video's. No, I don't burn illegal stuff. Like I said multimedia here.
