Windows 10: This app has been blocked for your protection. Sims 2 CD/DVD

Hello,


I'm having a problem installing Sims 2 on my PC.
My problem starts as soon as I try to run the Autorun.exe from the CD/DVD to install the game.
After I want to run the Autorun.exe I get a message.



Translation: This app has been blocked for security reasons.

An administrator has blocked this app from running. Contact your administrator for more information.


I don't have any other profiles on this PC and the profile I am using is the system administrator.

I hope someone can help me.


ps. I apologize in advance if my english is not that good.

:)

 

backup protected dvds

I want to create backup copies of my favorite DVD collections and I tried Nero but it said that the DVDs are protected. I tried looking for another software and I found this list of DVD copy software that claimed to be the best for copying protected DVDs. I need a feedback from someone who has tried using any of these software before I'll buy one. I just want to make sure so I can burn my DVDs and not my money. If you have any other suggestions or recommendations I would really appreciate it.

 

Photos App and creating a CD/DVD

Response to "answer" given on related question #2:

Burning photos to a CD Disc

"We suggest that you use Windows Media Player to burn the images. Please follow the steps below:

1. Open Windows Media Player.
2. In the Player Library > Burn tab > select Burn options.
3. Choose Audio CD or Data CD or DVD.
4. Insert a blank disc into your CD or DVD burner. (Select the drive you want to use if your PC has more than one CD or DVD drive)
5. Search for the items in your Player Library that you want to burn to the disc, and then drag them to the list pane (on the right side of the Player Library) to create a burn list.
6. When you're finished with the list, select Start burn.

Note: If necessary, click the Clear list button to remove all items from the previous burn list."

While I can view the photos I want to burn to a CD in the Photos App, I can not view all of them in the File Explorer Pictures Library. Windows Media Player is using the File Explorer Pictures Library.
