"The application will now terminate."
Anesthesia:
I'm going to the mall sometime this weekend with friends, and will look through Best Buy's games section and see if Seasons is Vista compatible. If not, I'll try to get BV. Either way, I probably won't have a new EP anytime soon with my lack of funds...
And as for the serial numbers... yes. I need the manuals to install the games. Fortunately, OFB's manual was lurking under my bed, so that's one less to look for.
Thanks for all the help.
ZephyrZodiac:
You could probably find that info at TheSims2.com. Then it's a matter of saving your pennies!

I guess I'm a bit confused here. I bought a new comp a few months ago and re-installed Sims2 and all the EPs. To date, other than the laggy stuff and the SecuRom issues (which I haven't been victim too yet), the games play great - and I have Vista.
My confusion is this, exactly what is it in the Vista OS that is causing problems with running your Sims games?

In that case, you have (as do I) great cause of thankfulness. Problems are inconsistent seemingly dependant on your computers:
1) specifications
2) loaded software
3) anti-virus/spamware
4) configuration (whether you loaded on an administrator or just a user account)
5) status with relation to the internet during play (I always play with internet disconnected)
6) mood at the time.
If you have no serious problems and your game runs fine, you should do the thankfulness action appropriate to your religious/philosophical tendencies (i.e. pray, light candle, wave hands in air, chant, sacrifice small animal, sit back and smile smugly, have nice cup of tea, other).
I personally refuse to wave my hands in the air, but have moved through most of the others and have settled on tea. I will someday (probably) get secuROM off my system, but have no intention of ever loading Vista.

It's interesting. I was just at another forum and just finished reading a post that had a virtually identical title. So I clicked on this thread -- turns out it's a very similar problem, that was solved.
Check here. You don't have to be a member in order to read it.
ETA: The post is by someone who has both Vista and BV.
