No display on TV or computer... Hi there, For some reason I cant explain, there is no display on my Sims TV or computer, you can hear the sound but there is no video Anyone have a clue to what this problem can be related to and how I can solve it? Thanks,
ok, so I did lower the resolution like you suggested. It did not solve the problem. Any other suggestions? By the way here are my system specs (sorry for failing to mention it from the start). Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz System Memory : 2Gig 800mhz Windows Version : XP Pro SP2 Free Hard Disk : 165GB Total Hard Disk : 320GB DirectX Version : 9c Display Adapter : ATi EAH3850/G/HTDI/256M Display Driver Name : ATi Catalyst 7.12 Approximate Total Video Memory : 256MB Game Detail : Sims 2 Version + Nightlife + Pets + University + Seasons
I am sorry, but I have failed! :( I have wasted half and hour searching Google. I am sure I have seen something about a video codec (a .dll) required for the TV display, but I can't find it. Maybe someone else can ....
Damn, if I can find out which dll is required maybe I can just copy it from my wives computer which also has The Sims 2 installed. I will try the windowed mode tonight and just see wot happens. Thanks in the meanwhile for you help, it is much appreciated
Most modern day graphics simply have the TV DVI/S-Video Drivers included in the bundling of graphic driver builds for computers. Generally for it to be active, a cable must be connected to both the graphics card and the TV, and the TV at least needs to be in a stand-by state.
This happens to me all the time, especially if the TV or computer is on when I save and exit the lot. Try turning it off, and then on again, should fix your problem. If that doesn't work, delete the item and buy a new one.
^Yeah same here, I think its something else, probably not to do with the inside game, if you know what I mean xD
