Need Help - BV will not start
hbmt:
I feel retarded asking, but here I go anyway:
is there somewhere simple for me to copy/paste that info? I can find it, but I don't want to retype it all.
Running XP home edition.
B:
I don't need super specific information. Rather, I just wanted to get a general idea of your system. Just post the amount of RAM, processor, and video card. All this information can be found by hitting winkey+"R", typing "DXDiag" (no quotes) in the box, and hitting enter.
It sounds like your machine is not letting the game read from the My Documents folder. Are you an administrator on the computer?
hbmt:
1536 MB RAM
1381 MB Available
Intel Petium 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
I am the only user on the computer, so I should be an administrator.
B:
Well, your card's not great, but it doesn't explain why the game loads with no CC. Have you tried task switching to the game when it is hung up? Simply press Alt+Tab until you land on the Sims icon, and then release.
If the above does nothing, try running the game in a lower compatibility mode. This can be done by right clicking the shortcut, and selecting an older revision of Windows from the drop down box under Compatibility.
hbmt:
Yes, tried the Alt tab thing. It would come up and let me switch to it, but then nothing would happen. I don't even get a blue screen or a black screen, just whatever I was viewing before I tried.
So yes, switching to the other mode does work with the downloads folder in the game, but the downloads do not show up. I'm going to mess with it a bit and see what happens.
Thanks for all of your help.
