Halp!!! Game crashing on gaming rig!
Capitaine Marie:
Aaargghh! I spoke too soon in my last post. The game no longer crashes when I save, but I clicked on a computer for my teen to blog just now, and the game crashed. I was playing in debug mode this time; should I post an error log?
jolrei:
Back-up your hood and test with your downloads folder removed. If the problem persists, then post an error log. If the problem does not persist, it's time to do a binary search for the problem hack.
J. M. Pescado:
This isn't a problem with a hack, or even a game. The problem is that your computer has been hacked and trojaned, and you need to REFORMAT and REINSTALL EVERYTHING.
Due to your large amounts of RAMs, you are also going to have to use one of the x64 Windozes. They probably suckered you with Vista, too. It's time to hop over to to TPB, grab an appropriate XP64 disk, and REFORMAT and REINSTALL. Beware of evil spyware!

ETA: I found several errors like this in my Event Viewer: "The entry <C:\USERS\PAM\DOCUMENTS\EA GAMES\THE SIMS 2\NEIGHBORHOODS\G001\G001_NEIGHBORHOOD.PACKAGE> in the hash map cannot be updated. Context: Application, SystemIndex Catalog. Details: A device attached to the system is not functioning. (0x8007001f)"
Any ideas?
You should disable the "Windows Search" service, or at least exclude the the EA Games folder from the content index.
This alone probably won't help you, so you must be ready to upgrade to Windows XP 64, as Pescado prescribed.
By the way, when windows installation asks for your user name, enter a generic name (like 'User'). After it's all set up, you can change it back to your real name. ;)
J. M. Pescado:
NEVER enter your name on your computer! What purpose would it serve? Are you worried you will somehow forget your name if you don't? Is there some reason the COMPUTER needs to know that? Never put your name on your computer, it will just end up leaking to people when the computer carelessly blurts it out.
