The Sims 2 - This application has crashed!!!!

[Simo1000 0]

I had almost given up fixing my crash problem then I stumbled on this web forum.

 

The programme crashes after a few minutes and I have contacted EA games and carried out their recommended solutions - all to no avail. Their final response was:

 

"After rescanning your dxdiag I noticed this information:

Sound Devices:

Description: Modem #0 Line Playback (emulated)

 

This emulation conflicts with the software."

 

I dont know what to do next and cannot find this emulation in my device manager.

 

I would be very grateful for some guidance.

 

Many thanx
