Game keeps minimizing
gynarchy:
To run the game in windowed mode:
Right-click on the shortcut to the game and select "Properties". Add "-w" without the quotes to the end of the Target line so that it reads "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 FreeTime\TSBin\Sims2EP7.exe" -w, or wherever your game folder is located. Make sure there is a space between the "...exe" and the -w.

This was happening to me for a while - I'd start it loading, go do something else, and then find that the game had minimized itself and my new monitor was giving out a "can't run 3d" type of error. I would maximize it again and it would run fine, and it never did this while I was actually playing. I finally discovered that it was my screen saver popping up during the load time - or trying to, but failing - so I set it to pop up after 45 minutes instead of 4 minutes, and I haven't had it happen since.

I suspect the firewall is complaining that the game is trying to phone home.

Starting the game in windowed mode seems to have fixed the problem. Still working on getting the size to where I want it, but the game no longer disappears.
