    Won't go past Splash screen

    I just reformatted my computer because it stopped working, so I had to reinstall TS2. The install worked just fine... No errors. However, when I try to start the game, the splash screen comes up, then after it disappears, nothing happens. If I try to start the game again, the same thing happens, only that the "Send/Don't send" thing comes up... I've tried reinstalling the game and I've updated my video drivers and I have DirectX 9.0c.

    Please help me :(

    Run Your Game and then let it crash. From there,

    Goto Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer


    Look for an Error with Sims 2 under the Applications Category. Post the details here.

    Nevermind. I fixed the problem by turning off Daemon tools.

    Are you running any Daemon tools?

    I've found the DAEMON files on my computer, but what is it and how do I take it off? Do I just send it to the recycle bin?
