Sims 2 Problem

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
