Sims 2 FINALLY WORKS!! I just wanted to thank everyone on here that helped me figure out it was my graphics card that was causing the problems. I tried all the steps and nothing worked until I bought a new graphics card. Someone online (not @ this site)recommended the NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440-SE since it was cheap ($29.95 including shipping) & if it didn't work I wouldn't be out alot of money. It was so easy for a novice like me to install and the game runs perfectly!!!
