Okay so last December for my birthday my parents got me the sims 2. Thus my dad and I tried to put it on the computer. But the computer crashed on the third disk about 73% done.
Me and my dad have been trying to fix it for about 4 months and still no go, and even worse it is now freezing on 23%. I don't know much about computer but I do know that this is a pretty new model.

Disk & comp info

Brand new sims 2 no scratches smears or dust.

Comp is a newer series I don't no witch.

has the direct x 0.9 thinger.

Nice video card.

Other good info for you.
My computer has two drives because the first and all important one is slightly twitched. ( the one with the freezing downloads) then another one that is brand new home xp, that has nothing, I swear nothing on it.
The second drive was gonna be for the sims2 my dad hooked it up after the 3 month period. but when it was all installed I turned on the game big smile on face. The little sims 2 pic apperead and... it stopped and said the video imaging card wasn't working.
So my dad supposabley fixed it. But the second drive needs to be re-activated.

I'm at a loss, help me please.

I've searched the web for weeks on end and I really want to play before school starts.

Warning, I have found some pretty useful stuff that may work, but my computer server is not a admin ( lets you install and download stuff) grrr. At about 10 pm I will try them out if the do not work I will truly need assistance.
The stuff I found include deleting files and and installing the stuff straight to the drive. (stuff for my dad to do after work. lol. btw, my second drive will get acctivated soon.


Thanks in advanced, sorry this is so long.

10 pm has gone by, no help. I'm at a frenzy I've even tried direct installation.(What I was doing last night.) And it still didn't work, someone give me ideas.
