[SOLVED] Sim City 4 Install Problem

Dobe777 · 03-14-2009, 01:11 PM

When installing the game Sim City 4, I ran into a problem. After installing the first disk, which goes fine then asks me to insert disk 2, It freezes after I click yes. (I clicked yes in the dialog box that said Insert Disk 2) I am not sure why it freezes. I have run both Disk Cleanup and Disk defrag, and even closed out my Anti-Virus software, but with no luck. Im not sure what to do next... help!

hello Dobe777 and welcome to TSF

when you say it freezes, the PC freezes or just the installation?
if just the installation, just leave it for a while, and see if that works.
if not try to copy Disk 2 to you HDD and then mount it as an image using softwares like Alcohol 120 and then try to continue the installation using the CD image as the Disk 2

You can get the trial version of Alcohol 120% from here. Or you can use the freeware MagicDisc which does the same job.
