| XP wont recognize files on DVD Hi, i'm (trying) to install a The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack for my 10 year old daughter. The DVD list all files with icons and everything - but when i try to execute the autorun file XP creates a error message saying "the file is not a valid win32 file". I suspect it has to do with the copyprotection that comes with the game. Anyone know what to do?      |

| Re: XP wont recognize files on DVD Does not sound like a copy protections issue. It looks like the DVD drive may be starting to be un-reliable. Have your tried this CD on a different PC? Can you "swap-out' the DVD drive on you daughter's PC?
