Sims2 headache!!
Hello all
I am having problems with my sims 2 dvd edition I use to play this game all the time no problems.I deleted the game and after some time reinstalled it and since I have had no happiness.I can play the game (most times)for about an hourthen the graphics become unstable and I get colour streams across the screen.and the game freezes.I cant see this being a video card issue cause I play alot of other games and with the exception of simcity 4(same behaviour) they all work fine.I added some ram and went from 512 to 767meg and this helped with my simcity4 issues but not sims 2.My directx are all up to date( 9.0c)
but have reinstalled all the drivers just the same(for direct x and video card) My comp specs are as follows:Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-7vtxh+ , CPU Amd athlon xp 1800 (1533mgz) Video - Nvidia geoforce 5500 256 meg 4x agp Operating system-xp home edition sp2
ram 767 pc2100 ddr Hard drives 80 gig and 40 gig both 50%free a cr-rw rom drive and a dvd rom drive.Please help!!!
