Your second puter sounds the same as mine apart from the soundcard, mines onboard. I have the Sims and all expansion packs and they all work fine (all original).
The only thing that comes to mind when reading your problem is that you may have another program running in the background.
Or they are copies? If so then it's probably down to Safedisc2 protection which is on Hotdate.
I have read other posts saying that Hotdate has a later version of SD2 protection so no one has a working copy yet.
I have made a backup of other games that let you install them but when it comes to playing them it asks for the CD. Could be that kind of thing.
A Program called "Playbackup" may help, available from GameCopyWorld.com.
