Game Decides to Just Not Work Anymore

This sounds like the "old car syndrome" I've had for ages. You just gotta bang on it a bit, mash the start icon about 30 times, one of them should load.

The words "bang" and "mash" make me uncomfortable when used around my 3-year old craptop.   :-[  I've heard of this "groups cache" file corrupting and causing problems (the squiggly lines in text balloons?), what is this file, what does it do and will it regenerate if I delete it?

Katze:
Yes it does regenerate. :)

It does regenerate, and as I understand it it caches a lot of info about what's in your The Sims 2 folder so the game loads faster next time.  But it does get farkled quite a bit, and many folks just make it a habit to delete it every time they play, and just live with a slightly longer loading time.

nikita:
I just deleted it and the game is running again.  Thanks everyone!  :)  Now I will happily sit here for 30 minutes as my game loads....   :-\
