I recently (2 months ago) purchased a new computer and it came with Windows XP. Now when I try to install my MM VI, VII, or VIII or Heroes III, I supposedly fail some of the requirements. Here's exactly how it comes up for MM VIII, and I get pretty much the same things for all the rest of the games.

Please help.

Hello. I've got Windows XP. I'm not good with computers. Many games I'm trying to play won't work. They won't even install. When I try to install them my computer always gives me the same error message, something about a DLL, I don't know what it means, even less how to describe it english.

Sims 2 100% CPU Utilization

proffrink
When running in full screen mode, the Sims 2 (with University expansion installed, btw. ) pegs my CPU at 100%, even when sitting in 'pause' mode doing NOTHING in the game. It acts like it's not using the video card hardware.
