Trying to install sims 2 to the laptop. Its a Toshiba 140 GB with windows vista basic home edition. can't recall the rest but the video card and other requirements are more than up to snuff.
(I get GB and MB mixed up so forgive me)
I have sims 2 versions all the way up to seasons. and the last time I checked it left me with 100 of 140 GB. Everything was working fine and all until I go in and try to make my own sims 2 person. It freezes. Ok I hold down the power button reboot, check and make sure nothing was lost or worse. Restart and try again....two more times. The same thing. I can go in and play other premade sims, and edit lots but it gives me trouble with making my own. When I say freezes I mean I can move the mouse arrow but nothing else, the background music keeps playing but nothing else goes. I sit and waited about ten minutes each time thinking maybe it hit a loading issue.
SO I figure uninstall it all and redo it. This time a week later I uninstaill, restart, add each expansion one at a time, restart after finishing it and go on to the next one.
Currently trying to install sims 2 seasons and now its freezing during install. (Same thing I can move the mouse, but there is nothing else running in the background that I know of.) I don't believe I have a virus, thought maybe if I defrag or run system check it might help. Can't find either as i'm still learning the nooks and crannies left of vista.
What am I doing wrong? Or have I hit some secret preset limit. The laptop still works I just want my sims 2 to preoccupy my time when I HAVE to be on bed rest until baby is due.
(i've read all the books in the house already.)
