Hi everyone

Recently i PURCHASED The Sims (original, not Sims 2) for the pc, now the TROUBLE starts when iplay it, it says i have not eough hard drive space, ichecked and i have 2.29gb left, where as to run the game it says it only needs 100mb.What on earth is going on ! Now my dad installed it on his, he did it fine and it played, so for that we PUT the admin status on my account, it installed and played fine yet when the priveleges were took off it didn't play it came up  with the memory message!
It's been *censored* for 2 days now !

has anyone else got the message of not up enough space yet really they do have enough space?

And do you need administrator privelges to play itCheck your swap file settings - it MAY be that your paging file/swapfile is taking up too much space.
How big is your HDD?errrrr right HDD, may sound really strange yet what on earth is a HDD? i have the worlds most minimal computer skills sorry :-? :-/Sorry, I should have explained myself better.
HDD = hard disk drive.
What is the total capacity of it?it says it's 11.1gb capacity and we still have 2.30 gb of space remaining , that's the  local disk (C) i hope thats what it is as it's labelled under hard disk drives the other is a  system_sav(d) that has 7.46 gb capacity and has 5.54 gb space freenow i'm not so sure it's even the memory that's bugging me, does anyone hjere who has the orginal sims 1 game have to have adminbstrator priveleges to play it ?How much space is the swap file set to use?
What computer is it?
If pre-built, what make/model?
If self-assembled, what are the components?
What OS are you using?
Age of computer?
Any other problems?
