CD HOT - screen frozen
DrBeast:
Can you please define what you mean by "having problems loading the game since having a new hard drive [installed]"?
Does it load then crash, does it refuse to load, does it load painstakingly slow?
Also, can you tell us the Wattage of the computer's power supply unit?

Wattage of the computer's power supply unit - 350w total output
When I had the extra hdd installed I made a program files folder on the F:\ drive but windoze created another folder on the C:\ drive for D&S. I wanted the download files on the F:\ drive because it had a larger capacity and ended up with duplicate folders. In my searches (and discussions with BlueSoup) I thought that the duplicated folders could be the problem so I uninstalled Sims2 completely and reinstalled on the C:\ drive so Windoze could create the D&S folders on the F:\ drive.
I started the game having moved all cc to the desktop and managed to get past the neighbourhood selection screen. I chose PV because the other hoods aren't complete but as soon as the pop-up asking about linking uni/downtown/shopping districts appeared the screen froze, the mouse and keyboard were disabled so I had to turn off the power supply to exit.
With cc enabled I was only able to get as far as the neighbourhood selection screen.
I have tried each maxis hood and even tried the custom hood but it doesn't get past the selection screen or very soon after loading the neighbourhood.
The same thing happens in Bodyshop - and we really want to see the cc we downloaded last week!

Hmm...I'm pretty clueless right now. I'll think of it though, maybe I'll get a flash of inspiration later in the day! Do you have any other games installed you might try and see if they work?
kacidama:
I tried SC4 and that worked ok - I might try reloading the sims to see if that works - and my daughter has Evolution GT installed which has no probs (most of her games are on her laptop)
DrBeast:
Are all those games installed in the new drive?
