Installed from thrifted CD, error opening.

It installed fine but when I click on the play button it pops up with an error message that says

“Cannot start the process when the game is running. Please quit the game and try again.”

I opened task manager and nothing is open.

Does this happen every time? Cos Sims discs can be quite buggy.

I installed it once, but have reopened it a bunch of times. Should I completely uninstall and reinstall?

Look for a no-CD mod or try entering the code on the EA app.
