Problems with playing SIMS 2!!?

I got sims 2 few days ago and began playing today.. well i installed the game and used all four discs that were in the package to install the whole game. and then i had to do these surveys.. whatever... and i started playing and it worked just fine. but then the second time i played it (after quiting out of the game) it didn't work.. i have vista and at first it said that it has a known compatibility issue of this version of windows and there were three options given "check for solutions online" "run program" and cancel. the first time i played, i clicked on run program and it worked but this time i tried all three and they didn't work.. when i clicked on run program this time this window came up saying UNSPECIFIED ERROR... what is the problem??

    You need to edit permissions on the program's installation folder so that their accounts have 'read and execute' permissions. Go to the root folder for sims2, go to tools> folder options> view tab> and uncheck use simple file sharing right at the bottom. Then right click the .exe file for sims2> properties> and make sure that all these options are allowed, full control, read and execute etc, this should solve your'e problem.

    And sorry i dont know about deleting a family =] hope this helps.
