Right, you're playing the Sims 2 aren't you? I had exactly the same problem myself, with a perfectly legal copy costing £32.99 from WHS.

Now if I didn't have the answer to this problem, then you need to look up the exact message with Google, or see if the publisher's web site have any mention of this error. In this case, it is thesims2.ea.com. And I am super-kind enough to give a direct link to their problem --> clicky.

Basically, the cause of the problem is that you are using Clone CD or Alcohol 120% (amongst a few others). What you need to do is uninstall any of those programs. Full list given on that page. I happened to have Clone CD (how the hell that ended up on my PC I don't know...!) When I did that, the problem was solved.

Give it a go dude!

How do i get onto the alcohol one? What is it again? I dont wana uninstall it and my brother go mad.

Tink, there may be a way of changing a setting in Alcohol without needing to uninstall it. Really, if your brother wants to carry on using Alcohol then he should be helping you out here. If you follow the link I gave in my previous post, there is something you can change in Alcohol. I don't personally know that program so try your best and definitely get your bro onto this if you're stuck because it is equally HIS problem (or more so) since he has installed them in the first place.

He lives in surrey though and went home about 3hours ago. Do you know where it is though in the folders or whatnot?

Looking at my link again, go down a few paragraphs until you see 3 screenshots of Alcohol. Looks like you need to open the program. If it resembles what you see in the 1st screenshot, click on the button that is circled in yellow (again from that screenshot). Then there's a couple of things you need to tick/untick shown in the 2nd and 3rd screenshots.

Sorry that I'm of no more help. It's a pain in the arse when it's not your fault in the slightest, even if you did install Alcohol/Clone CD. I felt the same when I had to do it myself a couple of weeks ago.

Its ok Its working, i just had to get rid of clone CD, but now the graphics arent right and the colour is wrong and keeps fading How do i change that?

(thanks btw)

Tink,

This could well be a "bug" in the game that causes it not to work right with your graphics card. If this is the case, you need to find out what graphics card you have and then install their latest driver.

Are all the colours wrong, or only in certain places?

BTW, you're only 3 posts from 4444!
