There are a number of things that can help you out without throwing money at the problem. If your computer ran fine with Sims before AL, then you probably already have sufficient RAM. If you are using Windows XP, then there are MANY things that I can suggest, but i would need to know more about your computer to begin suggesting anything. How much free space do you have on your hard drive? I run XP Pro with 2 GB of ram and all eps and 4 GB of cc and it runs fine 90% of the time. One thing you might want to try is getting the no-CD hack and obliterating Securom from your computer. There are several services that you can turn off to free up RAM and speed things up. One site that you can check out is www.blackviper.com. Very good site for finding ways to optimize windows. If you are running out of room on your hard drive, you can check out my HubPages site for freeing up a good chunk of your hard drive. Good luck

I've never opened up a laptop, some of the time it breaks a warranty seal on the bottom. other than that it's almost like a desktop. but find out what the specs are and ask a genuine computer expert for further assistance, i'm sure there's one around here somewhere.
and vamp... come on only 4 gig in your cc folder? :D

It got trimmed down not too long ago and I haven't really been downloading anything of late. Believe it or not, 6 months ago I had over 600 GB worth of stuff on 5 hard drives. Now I'm down to three hard drives and I am down to about 165 GB. The rest is now on about 150 DVDs...

Thanks for all your help... right the information I know about my laptop is that its Aspire3694WLMi, Intel CeleronM Processor 440 (1.86GHz, 533MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache) 15.4" WXGA Acer CrystalBrite LCD (16ms) Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, 80GB HDD, 512MB DDR2, 802.11b/g wireless Lan... If that makes any sense to you guys.
I also have 2 drives Drive C: is the one I use for all my games etc. with only 1.4GB free of 32.5GB and the other drive is 26.8GB is free of 32.2GB.
Dont know if any of this information helps at all? Thanks for helping me thus far.
