Is this a retail copy of The Sims, or is it a backup / self-burned copy?

Hmm... do you know how to make screenshots?

If so, please go to "My Computer", and right click your CD drive and click "Open". Then take a screenshot of this and post it.

I think you clicked "Auto Run" on the menu rather than "Open". It should come up with a list of the files on the CD rather than the launcher
