just called dell. they weren't much help. they suggested uninstalling mcafee antivirus

nope. i made a separate administrator account. doesn't work. although with this account i don't get the error messages. but nothing happens. i dont even get the install page! *****??? I am so pissed off. I bought a new computer in part just so I could play this!!!!!!

maybe i am clicking the wrong icon. the icon i am clicking simply says "set up" and has the EX symbol next to it. It's not in a folder. Although i looked in some of the folders and couldnt find any other setup icon. edit - maybe i am having trouble because i have windows vista 32-bit. what is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit? does it have anything to do with gaming? i remember my old nintendo used to advertise it was 16 bit, so maybe the bit has something to do with it?

click the setup icon on the cd. under properties i check compatibility as winxp, also tried as win2000. the box for run as administrator is greyed out. but i am an administrator anyway. but if i right click the icon there is a "run as administrator option" which is in the initial pop up box. i click that. its takes forever then tells me "error running application".

why is administrator greyed out? i even turned off the "user account control" (which is supposed to prompt you before making changes.)

tried that. now it says " . . . not a valid win32 application" edit- "run as administrator" is grayed out. i can't select it.

How do I get to Admin Privileges? When I started it up I made only one user account for myself. So aren't I the administrator? edit- just checked. I am an admin user account. so what now? edit- i got this error message: "Ereg registry key remover has stopped working" followed by "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Hi, New here! Hopefully someone can help me. I'm ready to die!! Windows Vista recognizes the SimCity 4 disk. Then asks me if it's OK to run. I click OK. Next it brings up the install page. I'm able to click and view the readme file. But when I click install nothing happens. CD spins for awhile then nothing!
