It's doubtful that it has anything to do with the professional version of XP. I have that on my computers and I've had no problems. It would help if you posted your complete information (see Manager Josh's post about what to post for problems). There are a number of people around who know computers and can help you troubleshoot the game. And if that doesn't work, your next best bet is to call EA Tech support.
1. windows xp proffesinal 2. 512 mb ram 3. total hard disk space: 37.2 gb 4: free hard disk space: 33.9 gb 5. sims2 cd version 6. directX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) 7. chip type : ATI RV100 (QY) i hope this helps
Sounds to me like a graphics driver problem. Have you visited ATIs site and upadted to the latest drivers for the card? Also, if your card isnt T and L capable then you will need a CPU of AT LEAST 2.0ghz speed.
