Cannot install the Sims 3 in Vista on the disc

I'm trying to install the Sims 3 game on my Windows Vista computer. My computer meets the requirements of the game and I managed to install once, but now it will not uninstall or allow me to re - install the game. It will not even read the disc. Help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    What is the exact model of the printer number?
    I suggest you to check if the printer is compatible with Windows 7:
    If the printer is compatible, then uninstall all the drivers connected the printer to the computer, download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer, the install without connection to the printer.
    Connect the printer when it prompts.

    If the problem persists, contact the printer manufactrer for assistance

  • Satellite P750 - 02Q 001 - cannot install the Bluetooth and Tuner DVB-T_ATSC Yuan

    I have more than 20 years and the first time ever answer concerning support for the installation of a driver... sheeezz

    Recently bought laptop below and formatting of disk with WIndows 7 ultimate + SP1 (64-bit)

    Australia
    TOSHIBA SATELLITE P750 - PSAY3A - 02Q 001

    Cannot install the latest drivers below (everything worked when bought the laptop):

    -Yuan DVB-T_ATSC Tuner driver (for TV Tuner model only) driver 2.3.3.31 Windows 7 64 - bit 2.9 MB
    -Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba Bluetooth 8.00.06 (T) Windows 7 64-bit 78,08 MB

    * DVB - T Tuner Driver *.
    The EXE file extracted in the temp folder and goes no further.
    The device driver shows "STK7700D" with an exclamation mark against it. See the image below.

    * Bluetooth Driver *.
    First installation install the original driver, then he received close to 50% through the installation (appears to fail to install the components of RF RFBUS).

    Then install attempt fails to go too far (is unable to install the driver at all).

    Third attempt and subsequent attempts to repeat the foregoing in order. Install it just gets to a point and is unable to go any further.

    I tried to disable all Wireless WAN and various other comments and try the install again. Repeats exactly as above!

    > The EXE file extracted in the temp folder and goes no further.
    > The device driver shows "STK7700D" with an exclamation mark against it. See the image below

    Try to extract the exe from another place, not in the temp folder.
    In my case, I created a folder on a second partition (D) and have extracted the exe file in this folder. Can go to the Device Manager, and then can install the driver through the Device Manager.
    Choose the installation procedure advantage and point to the folder that contains the extracted files.

    With regard to the issue of the BT;
    Download the new battery of BT from here:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    Then clean the registry using the CCleaner.
    This tool is freeware and can be downloaded on several different pages.
    So after cleaning check if you could install new BT of the register stack.
