The Sims Deluxe on Vista

[Kapnronh 0]

I installed The Sims Deluxe on my Vista laptop and it will work for a little while but during the game, it crashes and takes me back to the desktop. I haven't downloaded any extra skins or anything else, I only have the files that came from the install cd. Is there any way to keep it from crashing unexpectedly like this?

 

My system specs:

AMD Turion64 2.4GHZ,

768MB Ram,

ATI Radeon Xpress 1100,

Windows Vista Home Basic.

The Sims was written back in 2000 before even XP came out, so I doubt very much it will work in Vista. Best move on to Sims 2.
