I recently bought The Sims 2 and try to install it but when it gets to 95% it stops and says "A problem occured when transfering the file from the media. Do you wish to retry or cancel." Ive tried to press retry but it won't work.

Check the ram on your video card. If it's not big enough you cannot install and play TS2, the graphics are far more advanced than TS1 or TSO. This is the same problem I had with my older laptop and finally had to install on my main computer.

It's got nothing to do with the graphics.

The error is usually caused by one of three things:

1) Faulty CD.
2) Faulty drive.
3) Faulty memory.
