Yet Another (More Different!!) Crashing Seasons Problem.
Edana ni Emer:
Yeah, installed Seasons just fine... worked great. Go to open the game, the opening movie shows up, plays through, and when it ends and the load screen pops up I get a blank error message with 'okay' to click. I click, it crashes to desktop. I try again, in both windowed and fullscreen. I uninstall my entire game and all the packs, reinstall just the base game and Seasons. Same thing happens.
Anybody got a clue? This doesn't sound like a driver issue... nothing's loading enough for the drivers to get put to work yet.
Bangelnuts:
are you trying to run the game with your fire wall on? sometimes that will cause a problem. I have all EP's and seasons installed and I am not having an issue.also did you shut down unneccesary background tasks. The Sims 2 and Ep's including Seasons use a lot of resources while running. to shut down background tasks ctrl+alt+delete to bring up the task manager window. click user name and it will list all tasks running in the background. under "owner " shut down all task's except for taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe. when the warning bar pops up click ok.each time. this will free up the resources needed to run the game. the game manual that came with seasons gives a few helpful hints for running the game and it's running requirements.

You should definitely leave your firewall on when playing TS2. TS2 has been known to make suspicious attempts to phone home and is suspected of being spyware.

The Sims2 can't phone home on my computer since I never play while my computer is hooked to the internet,my modem burned out in a thunderstorm and I haven't replaced it yet :P

Phone home is not necessarily spyware; but that's besides the point.
TS2 should only phone home if the autologin check (which is supposed to check for patches) is enabled. This is disabled by default and should be left so.
Only the EALink Spyware versions continually phone home.
