I've burned a disk with a copy of a mdf/s copy of sims2. And I've used it to try to run sims2 and I get the following error after it crashes at the splash screen(from the appcompat file):

Now I've looked up on this and I've figured out it's the safedisk protection that is doing this. I can't get my hands on the original disk to make another image of it, so I'm wondering what I can do with the iso image I have.
EDIT: Meh wrong forum, sorry guys. Mod's feel free to move my ass...
