Interesting problem...
angel:
Ok, I'll attempt to explain the problem I'm having and hopefully someone will have an idea of what I'm talking about and what's going on.
Lately I have been having a major problem with the game crashing (not uncommon from what I've read here) BUT, I started the game up today and while playing, at random times, the blue screen will pop up and the cursor turns to the spinning hourglass. (like it does when you're loading). After about a minute or so of doing that the game will resume. As if that wasn't annoying enough the last time it did that my monitor shut off during the blue screen. The only way it would come back on was to reboot the computer.
It only does this while playing Sims so I'm not sure what the problem is... software or hardware. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this problem because I'm completely at a loss on figuring this one out. :-\
KatEnigma:
What are your system specs? (processor, video card, ram) and have you ever updated your video drivers?
angel:
Well I'm running the game on an old spare computer I had sitting around so the specs are pretty bad. lol
AMD Athlon XP 3200+
NVidia GeForce 6600 GT
1GB RAM
I only use it for Sims and it's played fine until recently. Hmm but now that you mention it, I did update the video drivers a few days ago. Is that possibly the problem?
KatEnigma:
Yes, it definitely could be. Try rolling back to older drivers. Your computer isn't great, but it should be enough to run the game without your video card crapping out.
