Computor game My kid was playing her Sims games and she then shut down the computor. Now when she trys to play any of the Sims games she cant

it cant handle games and probably gets way too hot,games like that need to be played on a desk top

lt's out of date.

Is it over heating ?

Well the thing is you have to download the game ' whether it is online or lan' you have to download it to play the game. Heres a download link http://www.kat.ph/the-sims-3-generations-reloaded-t5525814.html but you need to download and install utorrent or any torrent software in the net don't worry you can download it for free.

You could try doing something PRODUCTIVE with your time, instead of just playing games!

open the crack folder and copy the .exe file from that game disk, after that open the game directory where you install the game and paste inside of that, it will ask you to replace click on "yes" button. now you can play without disc.......
thank you

well according to this problem i will suggest to upgrade ur graphics driver. one more thing that u can do is to scan ur pc with antivirus.some times viruses do attact to ram and they trying to use the ram to make the system slow.so the memory dedicated to graphics is snatched and then u get problem to play the games.

Are you using vista?

You may need to run the game as Administrator.

This wouldn't really be a Dell problem.
I was reading some reviews on FT and AL and a number of people have complained about it being really "buggy".
It's that software that is causing the problem.
However, there are hundreds of different groups about different Sims games.

I would uninstall the Sims stuff, and explore the Sims support groups. You may also want to contact EA Games (the makes of the software, and describe your problem to them to see if they have any patches or work arounds for that install (that software on that computer). There are a number of times, that certain computers runs specific software for video drivers, or sounds drivers that conflicts with different softwares.
Once you have talked to them, and obtained any patches, then reinstall the software, and the patches, and go from there.
