the daughter received sims 3 for xmas. We are trying to load it onto her laptop (it is both pc and mac compatible) and we cannot for the life of us do it!! We have done put the disc in the drive, and the instruction booklet says "follow on screen instructions" but of course there are none. I am a Mac person so am seriously floundering with a flipping pc. Does anyone have any ideas?


many hanks

Open windows explorer, navigate to computer, right-click the dvd drive (should show sims 3) click on open.


Windows Vista and 7, hit the windows key or click on the orb, click on computer, windows 8 click on file explorer on the taskbar


Then follow the wizard, If you get stuck post up your issues....

      That's a good idea smiley blue , if you or anyone else comes across petitions to end these despicable acts of cruelty to defenceless animals please put on here or start a new thread if you please so we can sign the petition and add our objections to this , I would also like to thank all of you the people for reading these messages and adding your voices to this cruelty,  maybe we can end it

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.

      Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor

      Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.
