Hey. SOrry about that last post, I am just really frustrated. I'd appreciate your help.
I've already tried the window thing, going to advanced and putting ths lider to the highest point, all these suggestions but nothing seema to be working. I dont want to buy anything extra.
Processor x86 Family 6 Model 5 Stepping 2 GenuineIntel ~400 Mhz
If that is really how fast your computer is then you don't want to run Sims 2 on it. It'll load assuming you have a good graphics cards but it'll be so slow you'll want to kill yourself....or your computer.

Bad i know but i had a pirate copy of sims 2 to test out then i bought the game and it still shows this problem
~deeca4.tmp i was wondering if there was any way to remove the problem without having to format or anything
i know i can play the game using 2 separate programs... crack.exe and image crack
but i wanna be able to play without them
i have removed it fully using the uninstall then delete 8ab line or then deleted from ea games folder
is it sometype of registry problem that logged into my computer or what
btw i have radeon 9600xt 1024 gigs of ram 2.0 ghz pentium 4 i have daemon tools the newest version i had alcohol but unsure how to remove its registry i have nero but it does not have a virtual drive tab under all programs

Alright...I've read through as much of this as possible, but I've noticed one thing: essentially all the issues here are with display conflicts. The problem my computer is having is with sound instead. I'll try to be as detailed as possible.
I've been using the same copy of Sims 2 for months, now, and have installed it on three different computers. Also, my roommates have installed it on two of theirs, but the problem only lies with my laptop, which is a Dell Latitude C840. It wasn't having any issues at all until I installed the Sims 2 on it a couple of weeks ago, at which point, if I shut the computer down or restarted, the sound card software would immediately stop working. Usually, disabling it (as it was still listed as 'enabled') then re-enabling it would get things to function once more without incident...until I shut down or restarted again. I then completely wiped the hard drive and reinstalled Windows XP Pro for my current trip to grad school, and everything was working fine once more...until I reinstalled Sims 2 when the problem started up all over again. This time, disabling and re-enabling did nothing. The sound just wasn't happening. I have since updated all drivers and got all the possible Windows updates save for Service Pack 2, which is next on the list. I can get the sound to work again much the same as before...disabling and re-enabling. The software I'm using for that is Crystal Audio, and it's the most current upgrade for it.
I ran the DirectX diagnostic as suggested, and this is what came up. I apologize for the mass amount of files, but I'm really not sure what anyone needs to look at to figure one thing out from another. Also, this was done when the sound was made to work again:

Hey all, I've never posted in here before but here goes. I've run TS2 and both of the expansions. I usually get crashed out of the game after I've created a sim. Sometimes not. The games crashes at random times. What's wierd is it will play longer when I have a ton of downloads in. But I'm crashing now and I have no downloads. I have no issues with directx and I get green checkmarks on everything in EAsy info. I'm running an AMD athlon 2500+, 1gig RAM, ATI Raedon 9800 pro with 128 RAM, sound is NVidea nForce, I close all background tasks and set my screen to 800 x 600 in 16bit with a refresh rate of 60. I haven't seen anyone come up with a solution for this in any other threads. I read in one solution for University is to delete the groups.cache file. I have tried this with nightlife but it comes back and I'm still crashing. Any help would be gratefully received.bold text

hi, i'm having an issue installing sims 2 onto my laptop, i've checked, double checked, and triple checked all of my system settings and i'm almost positive i have everything i need...
however, i can install disks 1 and 2 but when i put in disk 3 it never picks it up. my cd drive just keeps making this constant clicking for a long time and then an error comes up on the screen saying there was a problem downloading "file whatever" and so i take out the disk and gently clean it w/ a cloth until it's spotless, and then i put it in and it doesn't work.
then, last night i tried to copy the files directly to the hard drive...and disk 3 DID load and copy to it, but then i go to autorun on disk 1 and it just tells me to re-do the entire installation.
ok, so after this, i completely uninstalled everything, and i tried the whole installation over again, thinking that disk 3 would finally download. first 2 disks download fine, and then i put in disk 3 and the exact same thing happened, and has been happening the last hundred times i've tried this.

Hi,
Problem: Well this part is very simple... I double click the icon to start the sims 2 and it gives me the standard win2k this program just crashed and burned program error message. Nothing about the video card, directX or anything useful for that matter and it does not even load the splash screen. If I insert the CD which should auto-run the game I get the splash screen and no error message but the game never loads. I checked ATI's site and they say the 7200 has T&L support so I do not think the CPU speed is a problem. Also, the video card has 64mb of RAM and my system has a GIG which makes this a real wtf is wrong sort of problem.
Here are my specs:
Processor AMD Athlon(tm) XP/MP/4 1667MHz Display Card ATI RADEON 7200 Series Memory 1024MB Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 Free Disk Space 48.63GB Display Card Memory 64MB Display Driver Version 6.14.10.6583 DirectX Version 9.0c Optical Drive CD/DVD Sound Card C-Media Wave Device

Helllo, Recently My Mother got a new laptop from Dell from the Inspiron Series. It runs XP Media Center. I am sure the laptop more than meets all requirements(I checked and rechecked). Sims 2 would not install directly off the CD's. Followed ea's recommended steps to copy on to the local drive and intstalled from there. I changed the map of the game back to the DVD drive. Three out of four times when starting up the game it goes to the load screens white box saying "Sims 2" and just times out or freezes. The other time it will operate normally. I have updated my brand new Radeon x300 driver and installed the Sims 2 patch. But Alas, still happens haven't bothered to install already bought expansions because I can't get the core game to install properly. I have reinstalled again and again. I am out of answers. Can someone help me? DVD drive is R/W+- but The Sims 2 is PC-CD store bought.

Someone please HELP me!
I just bought Sims 2 and I loaded it perfectly. When I try to play it, it'll plays the splash and then a window will pop up saying "Application has crashed. Will terminate now" It's really frustrating me. I have all the requirements for the game. I do have Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 (build 2600), if that has anything to do with it.. I dont know?
512 Megabytes Installed Memory RADEON 9800 SERIES
I'm just confused. it seems like I've tried everything for it to work. Someone please give me some advice, I'd appreciate it!!
