Thanks for the quick answer. I cleaned both the disk and drive. But I
wonder if it wore out in that spot because I had it in the drive to play the
game. It's just that file.

You could, then, try a manual install - the instructions are on the EA Games
site (not the Sims Exchange site) under technical support. If you can't
find the url, there's a direct link from the Exchange site via the icon on
the bottom of every page. I'd also check out uninstalling and cleaning the
registry (info is in the same place) - sometimes that can cause problems
though you don't usually get that error.

Best wishes

Thank you so much. I'll try that. I did try to see if I could copy that
single file "anywhere" and what I got was "Cyclic redundancy error." But if
I recall, the first time (before my HD failure) I installed OFB I had to use
some type of manual install. You'd think I'd remember just a few months ago
but I don't.
