Graphics again.
The Mule:
nvidea's are notorious for crashing games, even newer cards. After a few crashes on my new computer I googled the error message and came across the phrase on the manufacturer's website, wherein TONS of people playing all sorts of games were getting that same error message and the manufacturer basically saying.."we don't know how to fix it"...
Charley:
Typical of big companies really! wish they would just check the damn products work before sending them out!!

Thanks. I'm gonna try it. I don't even know what kind of graphic card I have :doh:

Just to give everyone an idea of what a resource sucking pig that seasons is, I have 2 7600 GS 512 MB cards running in SLI mode for a total of 1 GB video RAM and I still have to wait and look at the blue screen when I re-enter the game after I alt+tab out. Now I will admit, my hoods are a bit extreme. The Woohoo U. sub-hood uses about 1 GB ram just sitting there in neighborhood view while the other "less developed" sub-hoods use ~650 MB.
Therefore IMHO, using less than a 7 series nVidia card with 256 MB vid ram is going to be problematic at best. Game manufacturers are notoriously optimistic in their estimations of what will work with their games. Sure it will run but just try and add something and/or do something with a minimum or even the "recommended" spec system.

just looking on ebay, would a 128mb ATI radeon 9200 be suitable for running the sims 2 seasons? I don't really have that many families since it always went so slow! Also becasue my motherboard is so old and crappy, i don''t think it has a PCI-E slot on it, so all the new graphics cards i can't get because most of the are PCI-E. i think my motherboard only has an AGP slot.
