i started to install sims 2 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.
PS. i reinstalled this over like twice but the same thing happened. and i checked it over, and my computer seems to have enough space to run the game. and i tried playing the game while closing everything open. i even closed all my processes, and then opened sims 2 but i still cant get past the first "EA games: challenge everything" thing! UGH god help me please!
Additional info, added Saturday July 28 2007, 5:04 pm: also we did this scan thing, and my computer is capable of running sims 2 yet it still doesnt work. should i just bring it back to the store and get another copy of the game?. Want to answer more questions in the Technology category? Maybe give some free advice about: Computers? xkellxx answered Saturday July 28 2007, 10:46 pm: I would buy another copy. But this happened to me when I tried to install it on my old computer which was REALLY old. But then on my new computer it works. So, it could just be your computer, but exhange the game for a new one and see what happens. Hope I helped. [ xkellxx's advice column | Ask xkellxx A Question ]

Though it could be possible that your computer has too much stuff on it like Really large games and other applications. If you get a new game and it still doesn't work go to your START menu then to your CONTROL PANNEL then to the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS and take off any games that you don't want/need. Then it should work.
