hi
could someone tell me how to make a backup copy of the sims 2 i bought it for my daughter and installed it i tried to copy the disc but when i try to run it it says to put in the correct disc the reason i want to make a copy is because she scratches all her discs and they are getting to expensive to replace
many thanks

A lot of this stuff has a bug built in so you cannot copy it.

Read the instructions and help files, if you can't copy you may be able to install the prog on your computer.

What hardware/software are you using

Not off hand, but one of the others may have a better idea when they log on.
