Mac Powerbook

I have bought The Sims, and when I try to start it my Powerbook says it requires 1MB of free space on the disk. Try freeing up some space (on the start up disk)
I know I have loads of space on there so what is going wrong?
thanks

Are you sure it says "1MB", and not "1GB"?

Right-click your drive (saying "Macintosh HD"?) on your desktop where all your stuff it, and click "get info". It'll say how much space is "available". What does it say?

Also, click Apple logo top-left. Then click first item, 'about this mac'. This will tell you about memory and processor -- what are these?

fo3nix, I had a 167gb (appx) hard drive installed two days ago. I have all my old data on it of course, but that should mean I have at the very least 67GB free.

I have emailed the company that installed it but they have no idea about my problem.

thanks for your reply

OK. Have you checked the specifications of the game, and made sure your laptop exceeds them?

I will check later.

I am positive it will work, there's no reason at all why it shouldn't!

Aha. Yes, that seems to be it.

You should copy the game folder with the application into your applications folder.
