Check your computer I don't think it meets the requirements for Sims 2 and Pets, The red flashing and blurriness is the video card but sounds like you need more ram at least 1 gig I recommend 2 gigs. You could try shutting down everything running in the background ie messenger, screen savers etc to see if the game will run faster but my thoughts are more ram and new video card or a faster computer.

It may be that you don't have enough Ram to run the game properly. The sims 2 will run slowly on most computers. Why don't you try downloading the pets patch from the sims exchange. It won't help with the speed but it may fix other problems you are having.

Umm im guessing that you have a very slow computer. I have an ok computer amd sims 2 works fine. Check what sytem speed on teh computer you have. go to control panel, select system, and it will show how fast your computer. If it is about 1.8Ghz, then Sims 2 should work fine. If it's like 1.5Ghz, then it will run just like you said.

not enough memory to hold both games
choose one to keep on the pc and uninstall the other game
