Hi,
Problem: Well this part is very simple... I double click the icon to start the sims 2 and it gives me the standard win2k this program just crashed and burned program error message. Nothing about the video card, directX or anything useful for that matter and it does not even load the splash screen. If I insert the CD which should auto-run the game I get the splash screen and no error message but the game never loads. I checked ATI's site and they say the 7200 has T&L support so I do not think the CPU speed is a problem. Also, the video card has 64mb of RAM and my system has a GIG which makes this a real wtf is wrong sort of problem.
Here are my specs:
Processor AMD Athlon XP/MP/4 1667MHz
Display Card ATI RADEON 7200 Series
Memory 1024MB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000
Free Disk Space 48.63GB
Display Card Memory 64MB
Display Driver Version 6.14.10.6583
DirectX Version 9.0c
Optical Drive CD/DVD
Sound Card C-Media Wave Device
Thanks for any help in advance,
Brann
