stpid ERROR!


Question Posted Friday July 27 2007, 11:11 pm

okay first of all, im sooo excited because my mom finally gave in and bought Sims 2 for me! yay! ive been wanting that game badly since it first came out in like 2004 i think? next im getting seasons, but before all that even began, i started to install it to my computer. it just finished, and i restarted the computer. i didnt open anything except for sims 2, BUT theres an error. like halfway through the beginning credits, where it says "EB games challenge everything", it freezes and then a popup comes that says "The application has crashed. The application will now terminate." then when i click the OK button, Sims 2 closes! i've restarted again and opened Sims 2 again, but it keeps happening! and im really mad since i really wanted to play it. its a brand new game which we got from Toys R Us so its obviously not scratched or anything, and it didnt say that my computer didnt have enough space to run it... ugh someone help me please. im dying to play this thing.

btw my computer is a XP, and is a couple years old.. it was bought around like 2003-2004.

soendearing answered Saturday July 28 2007, 12:12 pm:
Try uninstalling it, and reinstalling it. When you reinstall it, don't run any programs (like AIM, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox(if you have it) or anything; so there's nothing interfering with the install. If that doesn't work, try pulling up "Add or remove products" and remove programs you know you don't need/use. If you don't know how to do that, send me a question about it in my inbox and I'll be happy to explain!

Hope I helped!
