Graphics jerking/jamming
Dese:
Showed my husband what you posted and he looked into it. He says because my machine is AMD (or something like that) there's no hyper-threading. But he also fiddled with some settings to improve performance so I'm going to play some and see how it goes.

I updated my drivers and now I have a completely different but just as unplayable glitch. Game goes to the sims blue screen, and then my graphics card crashs and my monitor turns on and off multiple times (like twice in one second) and I have to hit the button on my machine to restart and fix it. I quit!
This JUST (I swear) happened to me with body shop, I was creating a sim for a contest and got the blue screen of death GRR! I just updated to new drivers also. I got an error in nv4_disp.dll and it completely crashed my computer.
I have Nvidia GeForce 6200 running on Windows XP. I submitted a question to Nvidia's support section.
I just realized BBB posted some info (thank you), but unfortunately I dont know how to navigate to BIOS.. no clue where this old user manual could be.

Just had my game crash with this error message:
Direct3D returned with an error: D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE! The application will now terminate.
Translations anyone?

Dese - you need to install a new driver for your video card - if you have Windows Vista installed - it doesn't have the 3D side of the driver. If you just re-installed Windows XP, same answer.
Go to the video card manufacturer and download a newer version.
after you do that - grab the DirectX update at Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx
Dese:
I already had updated my graphics drivers. I went to microsoft for the directx update, and now when I try to open my game I get this message.
Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate.
If it's not one thing it's another!
Edit: Got my husband to look at it, and he rolled back my graphics drivers and now the game opens again. Hopefully that doesn't stop too much from working in game now.
