sims 2

saitekk · 03-29-2007, 10:34 AM

I installed The Sims 2 yesterday but when i wanted to play it the screen just turns black while i can still hear the music and all. When i press ctrl+alt+delete the screen flashes to normal the second before it minimalizes(but goes black again when i maximize).
I've installed latest driver for my gfx card.

I've got a ATI Radeon 9800 pro

Well i did everything it says and it still stays the same (reinstalled, drivers,...)

This is my system:

Windows XP
AMD Athlon 64 processor 3000+
1.99Ghz
RAM: 1GB
video card: ATI Radeon 9800
DirectX 9.c

Oh BTW, I could play this game about 1 year ago without any problems.

I have found a solution, i can play it now but only in a small window. It's not perfect but it's a start^^

have you tried totally reinstalling the game yet.if ya do turn off your virus program during the install process.those sometimes interfere with installs.
