there are 2 ways you can do this my first choice would be this one: go to this website: http://www.soft32.com/download-Windows_XP_Service_Pack_2-992-5.html and download windows service pack 2 IF THAT DOESNT WORK/ YOU DONT HAVE WINDOWS right click on the sims icon on ur desktop click on the 'shortcut' tab find the box that has a drop down and says normal in it change it so that it says minimized Run: [Minimized \/] although this will make the game screen be significantly smaller, i dont care, as long as i get my sims!!! those are solutions that worked for me and i really REALLY hope they work for you!

i have tried all of that and none of it works thanks for trying though

i have the same problem, i don understand it but i know its really annoying!! my stupid computer! i should just throw it out the window.. not even joking
