Stormy04

Hi Dosfreak. I went and read all the other thread also about my problem and I cant seem to see anything with the problem i am having, If you know of anyone or have read anyone that has had the same problem, I would greatly appreciate it if there is any way you could point me in that direction, Since my last post, I have updated my graphics card and my VIA Chipset. I have been also going back and forth with EA about all this, But it seems that they know just about the same as I do about the error. I have seen you post all the boards and help alot of members, thanks for taking your free time to help us that dont know much at all and look for help Any help at all would be greatly appreaciated. Stormy

After I installed the SIMS 2. When it trys to load, I get the error message of "The Application has crashed, The Application will now terminate."

If anyone can help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it Thanks to all that help others here, and gets nothing in return. You are some great people.
