I recieved a Sims 2 Sampler yesterday in Teen People and installed it. Whenever I double click on it or put the CD in, it displays the hourglass by the mouse but never starts the program. What's wrong?

Hi Classic,
I haven't heard of what you are talking about but it sounds cool. I have the regular game so I did a search. This link makes it look like you have a genuine test sampler.

Okay, this may mean that your machine needs a little help.
Run this this test on your machine. It is safe... and will take several minutes to complete on some machines and connections. It will tell you whether your computer can run The Sims 2

In the black box, pick The Sims 2 from the menu then run the test. You may need to download something, it will let you know and do it automatically.
Your computer might pass. It may have the minimum needed but sometimes for some machines, the minimum is not enough. If you have other programs running on your machine, or if your graphics card is not a robust one and a major brand, and if you don't have a fast processor or enough RAM, you will may have more slow down, and glitches if you try to use your machine. The best graphics cards have huge fans built into them to keep your machine from overheating. Some laptops overheat very quickly and crash and if pushed, the computer can become damaged from heat. This is why the minimum specifications are sometimes not enough.
The game may run but it will run very slow -- so sometimes you have to be patient and just play a slow game. And maybe you'll get a really nice computer for Christmas. :)
So test your machine on that test site. If there are low scores, then you may need to have some upgrades or just be aware that you do not have an optimal machine.

Try the file in here:

It includes the sims 2 sampler for The Sims 2 Bodyshop. If you have the sims 2 already you don't need it.
