thank you everyone for your help. i think that it is probably either the account or a dirty disk. i will try that as soon as i get off my wii here oh, and noony moose, is linux really that good?

Ok, so, yes, I have already tried running in compatibality mode. Disk can't be dirty, because when I tried reinstalling it and it auto played, it worked fine. All plugins were there ( NAM and Real Highway needed to be reinstalled ) and it was fine. Exited out to install it and some more plugins. Click on icon and the little blue circle spins near my cursor for about 2 seconds, then quits and does nothing. Yes, it is disk 2, not disk one. Will try task manager. *** Tried it, but the disk isn't even spinning in the drive, let alone task manager showing anything. For some reason, though, it lets me access the files on the disk. ???

Here are some specs: Windows Vista Home Premium, 64 bit operating system, Intel Dual Core processor @ 2.50 ghz e5200, 6 gigs memory, graphics card has 1 gig memory. if u need anything else, please let me know.

Here's my problem. I've been playing simcity 4 for about a year now, and it worked fine. just a few days ago, I started up the game, and nothing happened. I went into Computer, clicked on the CD drive with the SC4 disk in it, and nothing happened. The window with the cars crossing the bridge didn't even come up, nor did the cd spin in the drive. I have a HP Pavillion with a Pentium Dual Core processor at 2.50 gigahertz. The hard drive space has about 580 gigs. The ram has 6 gigabytes memory, and the operating system is windows vista home premium. I have tried various things: restarting the computer, installing and reinstalling the game, cleaning the disk. I can't post a picture, because there isn't anything to post a picture of ! Please help me! if you need any further information, please let me know. I'd really like to get back to the game! Combined your two posts and moved thread. -CaptCity
