W2K IRQ issues

TinyHeathen75

:x I just had a new system put together. I have been running 2k as an upgrade on my old system without problems for a few years. As a full install on the new system though, it is leaving something to be desired.

HELP!!! blue screen crash at the sims online

blakxdymond

Help does anyone know about The Sims Online Blue screen crash. Whenever I try to log onto my account the blue screen error would keep coming up and say its dumping something. I have read other forums about the sims 2 being just like this, and I am wondering if it is Maxis' error or poor quality.

A different DirectX problem with Sims2

p4rtyb0y69

OK, I just bought the game tonight but it's been crazy ever since then because I can't get it to work. This is mainly a problem with DirectX rather than Sims. I currently have DirectX 9. 0b installed on my Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 system.
