    Crashing When Loading Family

    So I posted her before when Sims3 would crash on my Vista install, but ran flawlessly on my Windows 7 beta. So I played it on Windows 7.
    I now just installed the Windows 7 RC1 as my standard OS with no other partitions, as my beta was expiring.

    Now after I click on a family to play (I backed up my saved games) it loads mostly then crashes to desktop.

    I've always ran a 32bit OS, but after reading that my system was 64bit capable, I installed the 64 bit version. Could that have anything to do with it?

    I also went to Intel and installed the latest graphics driver specially designed for Windows 7 RC1.

    DXDIAG included. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If it's working in windowed mode, one possible reason is there's a graphics card driver instability. We could try to get you some beta windows 7 drivers for your graphics card.
