Its detected that you have a program that is capable of copying/emulating the game CD... so it complains!
 
I don't know if there is a nice way around it but you can always try uninstalling whatever cd-writing/emulation software you have.
The common ones are:
 
Roxio
Nero
Clone-CD
Ashampoo
Blindwrite
Acoustica
Cd-Mate
Alcohol 120%
 
Normally games dont complain about writing software- its just the emulation software that causes it. However, uninstall a few Cd-related programs and see if you get anywhere.
 
Another thing to try is typing something like this into Google:
 
"Sims 2" "the exact error message you get about disabling software"
