I recently installed The Sims 2 on my laptop with most of the expansions that I got from a friend. The Sims 2 base game works fine, but when I installed the expansions and ran the game, something else happens. I can build the house, I can pretty much do everything. Except install a shower, toilet or bed. Seems pretty much to me about the decensor thing that my friend asked me to install along just for fun. I could click on the menu for the toilet, but when i tried to install it into the house, the game hangs and after a while, it goes into BSOD mode.

atidvag.dll
beginning physical memory dump

That is what I got. So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it, 5 times over and it is still the same problem. Even with ISO's I got from the internet, it still occurs. I uninstalled all the expansion packs leaving only the base game and it runs fine like a sunny day.

Could anyone help me please? This is driving me nuts and I'm a big Sims fan. I kind of feel like smashing my head into a wall because I cannot update my graphics card driver from ATi too. Feel like downgrading it to see what happens. This doesn't happen with The Sims 1 though.

Computer Specs:
Windows XP Professional SP2
1.4GHz Intel Centrino Pentium M Processor
768MB RAM
32MB ATi Mobility Radeon 7500 (16 bit)
4 Partitioned drives Remaining: C: 1.62GB (saved information) F: 14.3GB (I installed into this drive)
Direct X 9.0C (4.09.0000.0904)

If you guys want to see the whole specs, its right below.

Have you visited www.ati.com (http://www.ati.com) and updated your notebook's graphic drivers?
