Sims 2 deluxe won't install

[sgabriel]

Hello,

I recently bought this game, came home put it in my DVD drive, and it won't read the game. I have all of the req. to play the game. The mouse says that it is reading the game for about 5 seconds and then it just stops. It doesn't show that there is a disk in the DVD drive either when I go to the "my computer" part. does anyone know what is wrong? thanks in advanced

Welcome to TechSpot

How old is the DVD drive? Is the disc scratched (even new ones can be) ?

If the DVD drive is old, it might be that it can't read the copy-protected disc.

I'm not sure how old the drive is. around 3 years i think. and the disc isn't scratched.
