Hello,
I just got a new laptop, it's vista.
I just put the sims 2 disc in so it can install on my laptop and i just crashes my laptop and then my laptop will go back to normal when i take the disc out.
I don't know if it's the disc or the make of my laptop (vista)
Has anyone else had this problem?
Jenna Schroeder (:

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 8.0

It is vista not the game you need another ram upgrade vista uses atleast 1 gig to run vista and the sims i think needs aleast a gig or 2 so u need extra ram that is the prob cause my game it will run on on vista but it will just crash an it wont work but when i shut the game down the computer goes back to normal it makes me angry that it wont work but ram is what u need u need to get a 2 gig u prob have 2 gigs but it is prob 1 gigs but 2 of them so it make 2 gigs u need a 2 gig to make it a 3 gig it is about 40 dollers for a 2 gig for a vista but if u figure out anything to make it work better let me know and if i find anything out to help i will let u know


Good luck

Well apparently my friend told me that Sims is not compatible for laptops unless it says it is compatible on the back
