Title: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: ritaxis on 2009 January 08, 23:36:06 Now I have a new way of not starting: instead of anything else happening, a tiny box pops up labelled "Sims 2" with a white X in a red circle and an "ok" button. No explanation.
I think I broke it but I don't know how. The only thing I've done recently was to install Sim City 4 and make a neighborhood in it. My disk is from before securom, so I thought it was safe, but it has been patched. I don't see any information on line saying that the patch has securom in it. But the last time I couldn't find any securom evidence I finally did, after weeks of searching. I'm thinking of securom first because of that experience, but what else should I be looking at?

In this case however, the answer is on this page: http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Delete_Cache_Files Now run along before someone tries to eat you. Title: Re: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: ritaxis on 2009 January 09, 07:00:55 Funny, I was just on my way here to say it was in fact the cache files again. I didn't think of it because I had deleted them a day or so ago, and I'd never gotten this particular version of this error before. But there you have it. It's always the last thing you think of.
I don't think I'd be very good eating. Title: Re: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: Zazazu on 2009 January 09, 17:28:07 Cooked properly, anything can be good eating.
Title: Re: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: witch on 2009 January 09, 19:54:00 We have a bird here called a mutton bird. The recipe for cooking it is to put it in a pot with a rock for 4-5 days and boil hard. At the end of the cooking time, take out the mutton bird and throw it away. Eat the rock.
Title: Re: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: ritaxis on 2009 January 09, 21:05:21 Do you specify which rock? A nice porous sandstone, or something impervious like obsidian?
Title: Re: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: witch on 2009 January 09, 21:20:39 Do you specify which rock? A nice porous sandstone, or something impervious like obsidian? No, but that's an excellent point. There must be a point at which the mutton bird is less tough than rock. Title: Re: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2009 January 10, 04:15:03 I argue that the cooking is the problem. You should just eat it raw.
Title: Re: doesn't start: tiny popup Post by: Madame Mim on 2009 January 10, 05:46:46 I don't know about that - I saw a show on cooking mutton bird the other week and the thing that puts me off is the fact that it is meant to taste like fishy mutton. EWWWW - a delicasy I don't think.
