The Sims 2 ati3duag.dll error and crashing

Recommended Posts

I keep getting the blue screen of death when I attempt to play The Sims 2 with the University expansion pack. The error says the crash apparently is related to the file ati3duag.dll. I've read up on this online and it seems to be a common problem, but the fixes I've seen are not related to my computer. I have DirectX already installed (the latest version 9), and the latest drivers for my graphics card. It used to crash only when I attempted to exit the game, and I unistalled and reinstalled the game, and it now crashes at various times. Computer info is as follows:

Everything is accelerated, up to date, turned on, etc. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?
