bunnygirl2005 0 Posted July 6, 2006 Hello! I am new here and I need help with the sims 2. I had the sims 2 previously on my computer and it worked perfectly, but I had to erase windows XP and reinstall it. This is where it went wrong, after installing the Sims 2 once again, I click on it, and it loads fine, but when I click on a Neighbourhood, the mouse icon flickers, and when I go into family builder, my mirror dissapears!. Is this a graphics problem?, I checked my Graphics card and its driver, I have a Radeon 8500 family graphics card with a plug and play monitor display. At first all I thought I needed to do was install a more updated driver, but when I searched for a driver my computer said there are no updated drivers avaliable. Or is this a problem with the colour settings? My display is set to 1024 by 786 pixels and the colour quality is 32bit ( Highest). I had the sims 2 installed on these settings before, so why after reinstalling windows XP has this happened? I looked around these boards but none I could see had a problem similar to mine that was not resolved by the answers given. Could my graphics setting be too high? if so, how do I lower it? I have installed the Sims 2 CD patch, and that has made no difference to it, I am running out of things to do to fix this problem, can someone please help me?. Share this post Link to post
