Hey everyone, I have a Sims 2 problem for which I can find no help anywhere else. It installs with no hitches, starts up to the point of putting up the "The Sims 2" white screen. And then it freezes there for 1 - 2 minutes. It finally exists, saying that The Sims 2 encountered a problem and was forced to closed. It doesn't tell me anymore than that. I have upgraded my directX to 9c, I have a 2.8 GHz EMachine, with an ATI Radeon 9600 and 512 Mb Ram. I've tried reinstalling several times, and I'm completely stumped.
