Hey im new here and really hope that someone can help me. I dont know what else I can do. I installed sims2, restarted my laptop opened the game and while it loads it crashes (dont get the chance to play it) For days I read through posts of similar problems and I reinstalled it, installed directx 9.0, updated the drivers, tried the code thingy -w and -nosound SYSTEM Product . . . . . . . . . .
