Sims 2 Crashing Can Not Work
Nov 23, 2008Alright, so I know I have all the updated drivers for my audio and video.I know Sims 2 can work on my laptop. I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. I have an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5800 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 Ghz 3GB RAM. 32 Bit OS. (anything else you need to know?)
I'll open Sims 2, loads fast. I click on a neighborhood, and the trees are white and have words on them, like coding. I go to make a family, the brick isn't showing up either. It's white with the words too. Things work for a few seconds, then a message pops up and says "Application has crashed. The application will now terminate." I click OK, and it closes. I've tried installing and uninstalling. I've downloaded and installed the patches, nothing seems to work.
Sims 2 Games Will Not Work
Mar 23, 2008My Sims 2 game will not work. When I first used it it told me I needed a patch from the maxis website, so I downloaded it. When I start the game now it freezes at the beginning where it says Sims 2. My computer is a Gateway with Windows Home Vista Premium. It has a AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.60 GHz.

Oct 10, 2008my Sims 2 Double Deluxe used to work... For about 2 months. But, about 10 minutes ago, I tried to play again. An error came up."Unable to retrieve a DirectX 9 adaptable graphics card!!" or whatnot. Somewhere along those lines. On my computer at my house (I am at my dads) it does the same thing, but I understand because the card is OLDDDD. But, here, I have Windows Vista Home Premium and a newww graphics adapter!!!

Mar 23, 2008I am trying to connect my new Vista Home PC with my work XP PC in order to share some files and a USB modem connected internet link (on the Vista PC). I am using an ethernet to ethernet cable which has previously worked with my old XP PC and the same work PC. For some reason, I cannot get my Vista PC to allocate any IP addresses (you can tell I'm not very good with network settings...).
I don't have a router to use as a DNS, the PCs have been in the same workgroup but it made no difference. I can ping localhost on the Vista PC. There is no nice wizard to set up a wired connection on Vista, just wireless, dialup, VPN or connect to the internet. Grrrrrr.
Is RDP, ISS, And IPP Are Able To Work In Vista Home Prem
Mar 25, 2008I was wondering if RDP, ISS, and IPP are able to work in Vista Home Prem. If not why are they there. Also is IIS needed for IPP since IPP is listed on another check box?
View 5 Replies View Related64 Bit OEM Home Premium: Harware Does Not Work
Feb 25, 2008I am getting a new PC. The 64 bit OEM version of Home Premium is only $10 more, and I will have the hardware to run it. However, there are many that warn against the 64 bit version, and the last thing I would want is to find out that some hardware does not work, or that there are problems with our home network. I am also worried about not being able to run 16 bit programs and bits and pieces without proper signatures. Apparently the 64 bit version rejects these. The best alternative would be to buy the 64 bit version, but install and run it as 32 bit untill such time when I progressively replace hardware, the other PC's etc. Is this possible? I have heard that it can be run as 32 bits, but is this across the system, or is it on application by application basis.

Jan 1, 2010I have the following problem: My Control Panel keeps using the Classic View instead of the Control Panel Home view. I checked the tutorial about this subject: I tried the second way (Through the Registry: Through a Download), as i have Vista Home Premium, but when I right-click the Restore_Default_CP_View, it doesn't show Merge (actually, I'm not sure, because I don't have an enlish version...). The other way (The Manual Way) doesn't work either, because I don't have the file HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer. When I click Policies, it only shows one more folder, called system. The Explorer file doesn't seem to be there. I tried running as administrator, but that didn't work either.

But last time I tried to play it didn't work.
It said that I have to re-install it. But when I put the disc in it say that it cant find the location folder.
So I tried to un-install, but it say I cant do that.
I looked through previous threads here, and found one about how to delete it from the start menu -> regedit etc.
Follewed the intstructions, but I dont have a EA game folder, Maxis folder or any other folder for the game.

Feb 28, 2009this is an old issue some ppl have had, unfortunately none of the answers received have helped me with my current issue...i upgraded my PC, and with that i went from Vista 32bit to Vista 64bit, and re-installed all the old games i had on my old machine onto the new one. i installed the main game for Sims2 (no expansions installed yet) and tried to run it and nothing happens. i ran it in compatibilty mode and nothing happens. i ran it in both comp. mode and as admin and nothing happens. i had no problem playing it on my old machine, and this one is 100x better, but Sims simply wont start. every other game i tried, from GTA to Crisis to CoH to AoC works fine, only Sims wont even start. i tried the patch at the Sims site and it says my Sims game is up to date. i cant believe that going from 32bit to 64bit would make such a difference.

Mar 15, 2008I bought sims 2 to play on my Toshiba laptop, which runs with Vista, and it worked fine for aaaages, but then one day when i took my sim lady downtown, it froze while loading the downtown screen, and when i restarted and re-opened that family, it wouldnt work and was constantly frozen. since then it crashed everytime i tried starting sims or saving a family id made. it doesnt even stay on long enough to move a family into a house. I dont get an error message, it just stops loading or freezes. When i ctrl alt and del it says the programme is not responding. I bought sims seasons, and im still having the same problem. i have ran numerous virus checks and my laptop is fine. ive also uninstalled and reinstalled many times.

The Sims 2, Freeze/stop Loading
Apr 16, 2008I just purchased a brand new Dell laptop with Vista, and whenever I try to create a new family, it will freeze. It will also freeze/stop loading when
-I try and load some households
-I go downtown
And sometimes, I will completely load a household, but the screen (minus the control panel) will be black, and the music will be playing, but nothing will show up. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled many times, and this still happens. I played these games on my old computer and this never happened.
Installing Sims Complete Collection?
Sep 1, 2008i'm having troubles installing my sims one complete collection. i know it's possible, as i've searched other forums (such as sims help sites) but i can't figure out how to actually do it. a little background info, set up is fine until i get to the 7% marker, and the "textures" bit. i get the following message. what does this mean and how can i fix/get around it, if at all? i have windows vista home basic, an emachine that's not even four months old (from date of purchase) i've got plenty of RAM (2GB) and space (101GB) and i'm fully updated on all of my drivers.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSims 2 Huge Frustration Crashes
Feb 20, 2009I'm having some major problems with the sims 2. and it seems that every person with vista is having the same problem. crashes... But the thing is the game works fine at certain times. I can go in to the neighborhood build houses even play the game for hours on end certain days. and then it just stops working altogether. there are no problems with my harddrive space as i have 137 gigs left, and i really dont think that the game would really need more space. and i know it doesn't. I'm running vista home basic, and the really frustration part is i know quite a bit of info on this computer. its a dell inspiron 1525 laptop i have played many games on it and they all work fine. but when i try to load a game that i had already previously saved it works and then other times when i go into it all the building tools launch but the screen for the actual house stays black and then i have to start the task manager to end the game. i have tried running it as an administrator and i still have the same problem. i had no problems with installing the game at all. i am almost positive it is my video card and after i post this im going to test it on can you run it?
i've read alot of similiar problems but none of them said that the game actually worked for a while. the game works for hours on certain days ( as i have said before) and then some days it doesnt work at all. I don't understand why it would work one day and not the next. i have the real version of the sims 2 double delux its not a hack so that isnt the problem. I am running on my system ( more in depth than i had previously said )

Drivers For IPX To Work On Vista, Didn't Work
Jul 1, 2008I have been wracking my brain for weeks now, trying to play C&C First Decade with Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge over the LAN, it will only run on IPX networking which I could setup with 2x XP machines, I have Vista Ultimate on my PC, and XP on another, I found some drivers for IPX to work on Vista, didn't work ... So I loaded Hamachi which had built-in IPX support. Now when I open RA2, it no longer says IPX unavailable, it shows 00 00 00...
So it can see my Hamachi adapter with IPX support, great! The other XP machine has Hamachi installed, and they are both VPN'd (Connected) on the same Hamachi Network. They don't see each other... The XP machine shows a few IPX networks, I have tried switching to them all, even put the Hamachi adapter and the LAN adapter to the top of the preferred networks list. This was sort-of a breeze with both XP, but with Vista it's looking to be a bit tricky. I have no firewalls running on either machine and I am pretty cluey when it comes to networking (TCP/IP that is).
