Have you checked at the SIms site FAQ or tech support yet?

Does not sound like a copy protections issue. It looks like the DVD drive may
be starting to be un-reliable. Have your tried this CD on a different PC?
Can you "swap-out' the DVD drive on you daughter's PC?

Try running Disk Cleanup in Program, Accessories, System Tools.

I should have mentioned that - the DVD runs fine on another PC - and the DVD
player is brand new...
