Hope somebody can help me. I have installed the Sims 2 & The Sims 2 University Expansion pack. However when i try and actually play the game i can tll a sim to do do about 2 things and the game just freezes. At first i thought my soundcard was knackered as i got the repeating sound problem, however i have since removed the sound card but still it crashes. I have tried disabling my Virus protection (Norton Internet security 2005) before playing it and also shutting down any unwanted programs.
My PC Spec is AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8Ghz) 1GB Memory Plenty of availible disk space (About 50GB Free) GeForce 3 64MB Ti 200 Graphics Card When it was in Soundblaster Live 5.1 Sound Card Direct X 9.0c Seemed to have installed correctly.
Has anyone else had or heard of a similer problem and how did you/ they fix it
Thanks
Paul

my wife said try www.thesimsresource.com apparantly there is a forum on there with loads of people that know the game inside out. or youcould try + uninstall it as your comp has well enough to run the game... same comp specs as mine but ive got a 9700 pro + it plays ok on mine
