Why did my games stop working?

Hello Everyone:

Up until recently, my Sims 2 worked fine. I tried to play today and it won't open. When I double-click it, the little icon bounces at the bottom for a couple of seconds and then disappears. I've tried to uninstall and reinstall, but that hasn't helped. I've restarted the computer. That didn't help. I have a new game (Spore) and tried to install it, but it will not install. I double-click the install icon, but nothing happens. DVD movies will play however.

I've seen references to security updates and Quicktime updates, but I don't know how to check and/or uninstall those....

Any ideas? I'm clueless and frustrated.

Help!
Thanks in advance for any help...

Mac OS X (10.4.11)
