    Hi,

    I've just installed my first game since i've had the AA1 (5 months) and it's no success.
    Basically, i am trying to run the original version of the game The Sims, with no updates pack, on a AA1 with ssd, 1.5gig RAM and running Ron's TinyXP
    I've installed it in the program files by mounting an ISO of the install CD, and that went fine. Now each time I am trying to start the game by clicking on the mounted virtual drive or on a shortcut to the game, it thinks about it for about 5 seconds then nothing happens.

    My question is: is there something removed from Ron's TinyXP or a disabled service that is preventing the game from starting?
    (it's working fine on my main PC)

    The copy protection is quite annoying. I gave up and pirated a version that had the copy protection removed and was portable. I tried every no-cd patch out there too.
