AMD Processor Users?

I wouldn't have expected it, but the new drivers fixed it!
I might have had some corrupted profiles...

Thanks a lot!!!

Now I just need to figure out how to build a house from scratch... Thanks again.

So it works fine now on my Clawhammer.

Hey Deva, chill, li'l dudette

Try ati's driver downloads centre https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&folderID=27

I can't help you much beyond that ... but most issues of this sort are graphics drivers related and getting the latest, shiniest, newest drivers is a great way to pass some idle moments ...

 

I've already updated those drivers, but thanks anyway. I had to do that, to get the game to work at all. My problem is apparently unexposed on the forum before, so I might as well tell about it, though I don't expect any help.
EVERY TIME I quit playing Sims2 Nightlife, something flaws in the connection between the graphiccard's hardware and software. I get an error message, something like "ATi RADEON couldn't send the driverssomething to the hardware" and some more. The graphiccard goes in some kind of "Safe Mode(?)" and the computer g-e-t-s s-o s-l-o-o-o-w. This messagewindow will also, after I've clicked "Ok", ask me if I want to restart my pc so that it can get back to normal again (it really says something else, I don't remember), and I have to reboot, or I'll have to sit by a pc trying to work as with a 333 mhz processor trying to start up Photoshop, Bodyshop, SC4 at the same time.
When I've rebooted the machine, everything is normal again, if I remember to take out the disc from the cd-rom. If I don't, I'll have to watch the startup of the Sims 2 Nightlife, then quit it, wait a couple of seconds for the errormessage and reboot again.
+ that Bodyshop doesn't work since I installed Nightlife. I just get's a message which says it doesn't response, and when I check the technical background to the error it's always a mysterious .txt-file in
C:\DOCUME~1\Jasmine\LOKALA~1\Temp\ that has something to do with it. The file will include long code-strings, or latin or I don't know what it is. It is about bodyshop though, as far as I can see.
