sims 2 for pc?

Question

i bought sims 2 for pc from ebay ( i dunno if that matters) and had been playing it for about a month as i would ahve expected it to be.
then it freezes, the screen goes blue, but with the sims mouse still up.
the only way i could figure out how to get it off this screen was by pushing the 'windows' button - which closes that screen and brings the start menu up.
my screen had changed sizes and was very strange colours and pixelated. i restared the comp and the screen returnd to normal and a pop up said 'the system ahs just recovered from a serious error'
now, everytime i play sims 2 it does this. please help!

Answer 1

Please try updating to the latest drivers for your video card, monitor (if your monitor needs drivers), sound card, and to the latest DirectX (9.0c), since the game is hardware accelerated. Also, if you have a low amount of RAM, try purchasing more.

Answer 2

Hmm. Did you download any custom content? That could be the problem, especially if it wasn't from the Exchange. If you wait a while (like, 5-15 mins) it might load back up. Otherwise, try reinstalling your game. You will lose everything, though! Also, visit the website and register your game and stuff...then check me out, I'm rocksweetie777.
