Unhappy Please help with The Sims.

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could please help me. I backed up copies of The Sims, Livin Large and Hot Date on my friend's computer (I don't have a burner) and I cannot for the life of me get Hot Date to run. It installs ok, but when I attempt to run the game, it gives me the red title screen and then says I need the CD to run the game, please restart.

I have looked at the solutions provided in this forum but nothing seems to work for me. Everything I have applied from Gamefix seems to give me an error of "The Sims has caused an error in Sims.exe, shutting down" or something. Please tell me, is there something I am doing wrong? Or is it the backup itself that is the problem? I copied the files to the hard drive and then burned them to the blank. I am also running Euro versions, is this to blame? I am new to backing up CDs, and Windows in general, so I do not know all the technical terms, etc. Any help at all would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Kaori

P.S. Please excuse my English, it is not my native language.
