Sims superstar

Operating System: Windows 2000
Burning Software: Not sure
Anti-virus Software: Norton Antivirus 2003
DAEMON Tools Version: Not sure

I'm not completely sure about the specs to the other programs, but here is my problem anyway:

I have every Sims game (expansion disks) except for Makin Magic at the moment. I installed the first two, but then mounted an image of House Party using Daemon tools. Following that, every other expansion pack up to Unleashed worked without the CD-Rom. After I installed Superstar, however, the game loads the title screen for a few seconds then crashes back to Windows. I checked on Google, and one of the sites suggested it might have to do with a Virtual CD-Rom that is confused with the real one being used for the game. When the game crashes back to Windows, it's still running, although nothing is being read in my CD-Rom. Do you suggest that I just uninstall the Sims programs and create the Superstar image to mount or is there another way to fix the problem?

Update to the latest dtools version (3.46).

Update to the latest dtools version (3.46).

Does that mean that I'd have to uninstall and reinstall my Sims games or do you think it should work automatically through the update?

Still giving problems

The program still crashes back to the desktop every so often when I want to play it. I've tried loading it from the "autoplay" on the latest expansion pack's CD as well as mounting my "houseparty" image. This is with the latest version of Daemon tools installed.

Does it work with Daemon Tools un-installed?

[jonusb]

You know what's weird? It seems to work only when I fool around with the different options. Actually, last night it worked three straight times when I set "devices=no devices" - but with Daemon tools still running. You see, I want the game to run off the original disk, because that's how it was installed. I did uninstall daemon tools before and it came up with the same problem.

well I know that problem!

It did not work ... even with the original cd!!!!!

So the only way to get it working is to reinstall the game , best from virtual drive :mrgreen:

Yeah but that means I'd have to create an image of the Superstar installed game files, right? (You can see I'm trying hard not to create this whole situation into a project).
