Default Sim's Problem

My sister recently got a computer from a guy with a shop who builds computers for your personal needs. Her's was gaming but she can't get the sims life stories to work. Today I put in a new DVD drive for her as the other one was rubbish. I put in LG 20x internal super multi DVD Rewriter. Now the little icon in her my computer turns to a sims picture (so we no that the DVD drive knows its in there) which it never changed before. Anyway the same message comes up when you click the icon.

D:\ is not a valid Win32 application

Its format is DVD Rom which the player supports.

So im guessing it might be something to do with windows?

Anyone got any ideas?

I think it's a misspelling of "your OS"

Have you tried using the Run command?
