I recently bought The Sims Online and Highland Warriors from USA (I live in Denmark)
They played just fine untill yesterday, now whenever i try to play them it says they make an illegal operation(think that what it is called in english)
Is this because the games are American?
Does anyone got any suggestions of what i should do?
Thanks in advance :)

I don't think its cuz thats they are american, hey, i even played russian *** games on pc in america and nothing happened...i think it's just the problem with games themselves...i might be wrong though...

Thanks for the reply Dolphin, I dont think it is because they are american either, but never hurts to be sure :)

Hey, try and reinstall the game. Just put in the cd, and click "Uninstall". Then you can put it in and install it again.

Wow.

The only thing I can say is that the sims uses safedisk. Which does leave a little bit of junk in your registry. Newer versions leave a couple of files in the system32 folders.

I don't know what version is used on Online, but I bet it's the newer 2.70's.

Might be easiest to reinstall your whole operating system.

Nah, I assume that most of the problems will be solved either by patching it to the latest version, doing some troubleshooting, etc. Contrary to popular belief, reinstallation, reformatting, etc. is not always the solution. ;)
