It could be one of several problems. (I'm no computer genius either, but
I have been having several problems running the sims on my computer
since I had the motherboard and hard drive replaced.)
I get that message from time to time. Just tell it okay, put the disk
back in and retry.
If that doesn't work, try running in the different compatibility modes.
If that wont work, try running it as administrator.
Be careful of people who tell you that it could be a graphics card
problem, because as you said, the game worked fine before.
I have a topic about slightly different, but possibly relevant issues.
If you want to see it, it is here:
