I bought sims 2 to play on my Toshiba laptop, which runs with Vista, and it worked fine for aaaages, but then one day when i took my sim lady downtown, it froze while loading the downtown screen, and when i restarted and re-opened that family, it wouldnt work and was constantly frozen.
since then it crashed everytime i tried starting sims or saving a family id made. it doesnt even stay on long enough to move a family into a house.
I dont get an error message, it just stops loading or freezes. When i ctrl alt and del it says the programme is not responding.
I bought sims seasons, and im still having the same problem. i have ran numerous virus checks and my laptop is fine. ive also uninstalled and reinstalled many times. Ive also tried changing game compatability without success. Ive gone as far as going and buying a new sims 2!
Here are my directX Diagnostics.. if it helps.
