installing Sims 3 on a very stubborn computer

hello
this is a new thread.
my daughter is DISTRAUGHT that the new Sims 3 will not install on our
computer.
After much cursing, and digging around in places that I shouldn't... I am
still not able to do so.
This is an urgent issue as her boyfriend is leaving tomorrow with a church
group for 2 weeks, and I am here at home, where she can nag me without
ceasing!
HELP!
Where's a geek when you need one? :-O

Hello,

What is the problem when trying to install/play Sims 3? Any error messages?

Also check that your system meets the System Requirements of Sims 3.

Does your PC meet or exceed the minimum requirements for the game? You're
not giving us much information to go on..... what are the specs of your PC?
At least give us the make and model of your PC so we can go find the specs
and tell you if your PC is up to the requirements.

It's rather like asking us how long is the piece of string when we cannot
even SEE it, let alone try to make an educated guess from your holding it.
