Can play Sims Hot date on my Sony CRX 140E

Hi,

I'm new to boards and I'm looking for help. I'm having such a hard time playing any new games on my Sony CRX 140E. I have firmware 1.0N and no New games like Max Payne or Sims Hot Date will play. They are ORIGINALS not even copies. They install fine but when I want to play them they just won't start. I tried these game on my Dell Laptop DVD-ROM and they work fine. I don't want to play these game on my laptop.Please someone help me? Do I need a new driver and where do I find it..
I'm sure it's that damn Safedisk 2 that's screwing things up. All the other software I have works fine I don't get this!!.

Thanks so much for anyone's help!!
