Blue Screen of Doom
jsalemi:
Your video card advanced control panel usually has a setting for 'anti-aliasing'. The default is usually 'application controlled', but what Argon is suggesting is to check it and make sure it's set that way.

I know this might now be an issue, but do any of you guys get the BSOD while playing other games?
I was getting the BSOD all the time anytime I played ANY type of video game. As it turned out, my 2 sticks of DDR RAM weren't playing well together anymore because one of them burnt out. Removing the bad one fixed my problems. Running at half capacity right now, but that's not an issue since I'm not playing the Sims.

Thanks.

Nope, only with Sims. I only play one other game on this computer though.

I know the source of this information may be slightly dubious, what with all the know-nothing know-it-all 12 year olds who hang about there, but some folks on the BBS reckon that evil evil Securom 7 is the cause of the renewed BSOD problem.
I used the instructions from here to remove Securom. My computer ran okay for a while, but I'm still getting the crashes (although less frequently). My guess is that it may be contributing to the problem but is not the direct cause of it.
I'll have to give the shaders cheat a try.
(My specs in case anyone's interested -- an HP box with NVidia 7600GS, 4G of RAM, Intel Duo chip, 250G SATA disk. )

What is the general consensus on this beta driver? Who is it working for and who hasn't had any luck?
I had to replace my video card to a GeForce 6200 recently and have had no end of headaches trying to find a driver that works. My old card died, but it worked brilliantly with the game and I cannot remember which driver version I was using. (I had to use a crappy old 64 meg card in the interim, untill I could save up for a new card).
I really want to get the game running because I haven't had much time to play recently. I have BV installed but haven't been able to try it out yet. Would I have better luck if I just un-installed BV until all of these problems are resolved ( or should I just assume they are permanently borked and try to find another way around it)? I really don't want to use the useshaders false cheat if I don't have to. My old card had me spoiled because my game looked so pretty.
