Also note that TS2 has a minimum requirement of 256 MBs of RAM, but that Windoze will take up half of your RAM, so that you will need twice as much in your actual computer, because Windoze takes up half of it.
That's true, especially if you use Outlook, it is quite the memory sponge and I have 1024 Mb. I try and make a point to reboot if I have used Outlook or Excel at any time to help reduce this - it seems like the more memory you have the more Windows will waste.

You should try out the Cacheman utility at http://www.outertech.com/index.php?_charisma_page=index. It'll tune your system, and sits in the background cleaning up memory when programs like Outlook leave .dlls loaded when they exit. Saves having to reboot to get the memory back. I've used it for years and never had a problem with it.
JenW:
Oh I'll have to check out that program. I don't use Outlook but that could be handy anyway.
I do think virtual memory was the problem after all...I manually upped it and it helped (but started crashing again anyway). Yesterday my husband installed an old hard drive into my box so now I have 3 gig dedicated swap space. Hopefully that will pick things up and help with clothing collections. CAS must eat up virtual memory like a teenager eats french fries :P

I think Bodyshop is worse for that than the actual game, I was never able to run it, so I just lost interest.
Have you got the latest DirectX?
And do you use a program like Window Washer to clear out all your caches, or a Registry Cleaner to keep your registry in good shape? Defrag on a regular basis, long before windows tells you to? Get rid of all the unneccessary .bak files that simPE creates? Buy your computer a birthday gift?.....
