Anyone have experience installing Sims 2 Holiday Edition on Vista?

Symptoms: We put Disk 1 in and it doesn't autorun. Open the drive and double-click autorun and nothing happens.

Somewhat unfamiliar with Vista, so looking for any help!
Thanks,
Penny:confused:

In control panel
Open the autorun icon and check your settings

By default just inserting the disk should cause the autorun to find and run any autorun feature on the disk

If it deosn't then you should be able to just double click the drive in the windows explorer and that will or should also cause autorun to find and run your autorun file on the disk or at least it should ask you what you want to do

Why don't you just go to My Computer, right click your CD/DVD drive and hit open then run setup?
