SimCity 4 not working Windows 8.1
Hi. My SimCity 4 isn't working on WIndows 8.1. I have updated it already and its version is 1.1.640.0, but, the launch still isn't working! I have tried downloading a SimCity 4 launcher from STEX, but I just hear the disc move around, and nothing happens. I have tried using both discs, on disc 1, I press "play", and nothing happens. I have read forums all day about turning off the intro slideshow, but I can't even do that! Any suggestions?
The game also used to work properly, until I primarily began to play SimCity (2013). Maybe this has something to do with the problem?
If you are still using Windows 8.1 and you cannot redeem your serial number with EA, then this will probably work for you.

Follow the instructions on the above link.
I would like to note that this will NOT work on Windows 10, so if you need to play SimCity 4 on your current Windows 8.1 computer, do not update to Windows 10 until you can get a digital copy.
