Sims 2 and Expansion Problems Hi. I recently just installed the sims 2 and all the expansions. I am having a problem, however, when I try and actually play the games. Everytime I give it a shot, it gives me an error saying sims " " has encountered a problem and needs to shut down . I am not sure what the problem is, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi, Ron. I'm not the technical help around here, but in case you show up before they do, here's a link to EA support about the game crashing: http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cf...nBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9Y3Jhc2g*&p_li=&p_topview=1 It looks to me like they are suggesting four possibilities: 1) Other software running in the background is causing a problem, or 2) Drivers need updating, or 3) There is a corrupted file. (Oh, brother, I hope not,) or 4) Conflicts with stuff downloaded from the exchange (which seems hardly likely since you just got the game and its expansions.) I always shut down "owner" background tasks before starting my game, except (and this is extremely important,) the taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe and CCAPP.EXE.
