Hello,

My husband installed the Win 7 beta 7100. I have tried to install all my Sims 2 games and expansion packs but I am having a problem. Only the general game and 1 expansion pack will install, the other ones will not even load when I put them in the drive so I can't finish installing. Nothing happens at all. The basic game will run and play with out a problem but I would really like to install the rest of the expansion packs. Can someone please help me?

Thanks.

P.S I'm not very computer savvy so please give detail explanations and directions. Thanks so much!

Hi,
this may be due to the fact that the game is not compatible with windows 7.

I've installed the same windows 7 and I run the full game with all the expansions and a lot of download.
System : Core i7 965 extreme, radeon 4870x2, 6GB DDR 1600
Maybe you can try to install windows virtual XP
