I totally forgot! I got Nightlife installed already (I know, I know, I'm BIG traitor ;D) I used a "clean" TS2 folder to do so... everything is running just fine(besides karaoke machine that is ::))
What do you guys suggest? Should I wait till I upped my virtual memory before using the old folder? Or will deleting the duplicate packages be enough?
???
Can you explain more about the karaoke problem? Any error logs?

I hear on the BBS that is lack of singing when it is on,...I will have to check it out once I get home and load mine.

I honestly can't remember how I did it, but there are instructions in the Help and Support section in the Start Menu. But as I say, it's not the best thing to do, and certainly not if you up it by a lot, although if windows is taking you back to the desktop each time it does it, it can be frustrating, I know. If you do decide to do it, I'd try just a little at a time. Also, I close my game fairly frequently (have to if I want to put something in it or take something out, anyway) and if I then defrag and reboot everything gets stored away tidily and I start with about 850MB of available RAM and the game only starts to get choppy when I'm down to about 150-200, which has probably more to do with the new outcrop of red in my defrag diagram than with the actual amount of RAM left!

O_o
Defragging immediately after every gameplay session is a little excessive - it really only needs to be done once a month or so! If you actually NEED to do so, you should start worrying about your hardware dying.

And another thing, I went to a lot of mine and I have a SERIOUS problem with it!
The heli carpool arrives and the game starts lagging tremendously! then I got a message saying windows has not enough virtual memory???
I don't understand, I've been taking the carpool just fine, the game has been performing just fine... All of a sudden it's acting like this??? >:( I wish I could know what went wrong, so I can fix it....
I'll try removing my downloads folder and then playing the game
Are you sure you don't have the NPC/Slowdown bug on that lot? I've never had the virtual memory message but I have plenty of RAM and HDD space. One sign it's the slowdown bug would be the time of day it starts, if it's around the time a service NPC is due to turn up then that's likely your problem. This link is a Carpool portal fix by Erzengel on modthesims2, it seems both the Carpool Bug and the NPC/Slowdown bug may be caused by the same thing.

Crammyboy has a 'preventative fix' to help stop it happening in some instances (as well as the mailbox/trashcan disappearing) which is linked to from Erzengels post, I think it pops up a warning dialogue box when a portal goes missing too. Hope this works for you!
