    PLEASE help, graphics problem!!

    Okay, so I start up the Sims 2 and after only a few minutes it will freeze, I can hear all the sound the screen just won't show anything. The I'll exit the game and it will say it's the ialmrnt5 display driver not working properly, please restart your computer etc. I restart the computer and try to play again and the same thing happens. I have an acer travelmate 2420 laptop and I have no idea what information you need, so here's all of it.(Its on a sticker on the front of the laptop:) )
    -Intel Pentium M processor 735A (1.7GHz 400Mhz FSB, 2MB L2cache)
    -14.1" WXGA wide TFT LCD
    -Intel Graphics Media Accelorator 900
    -100GB HDD
    -DVD-Super Multi double layer (Support DVD+R Double Layer/DVD+-RW)
    -1GB DDR2 (Support dual-channel)
    -802.11b/g wireless LAN
    I'm sorry, I'm not that good with computers. If you can give me ANY advice, you have NO idea how appreciated it would be!:D :D If you need any other information, if you can tell me how to get it...
    Thanks to ANYONE who replies in any form, this is a frustrating problem.

    Im having the same problem

    I am having the same message, "ialmrnt5 display driver not working properly" along with the same problems. Such as the game completely freezing, while I can still hear sound.
    At first I thought it was my drivers too, because I had reformatted my computer awhile back, but I checked and I have all my drivers.
    Then I heard that some people have problems with their sims after adding new expansions. And in the past 5 months, I have added maybe 6 new sims expansions. Thats when it all started. And before, when I just had nightlife and university, everything ran fine.
    So, I have completely uninstalled all but the first sims 2, but I havent had the chance to play and see if it is still happening.

    My specs are:
    Intel (R) Celeron (r) M processor 1.40 GHz
    504MB RAM
    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    Intel Drivers

    Question: What graphics card do you have?

    It wouldn't matter what it was. Intel integrated graphics aren't T&L so the OP would need a faster CPU
