ok, so, im at work, and i have a problem....Sad

a customer came in, with his laptop and his copy of the game and he had just been given both family fun and celebration stuff pack....

he has the dreaded magenta flashies walls >.<
now, i suspected, when he mensioned it that it was the graphics drivers, and well, i have the driver updates for all the Nvidia and ATI cards, but.....
not for a crappy little VIA/S3G Unichrome Pro IGP.

he says he has already had to take back his birthday version of Seasons (thankfully, it was still sealed, becasue of the flashies he has been having.)

so....is he as fecked as i think he is?
(probly means no add ons or stuff packs, since i beleave his Sims2 works, but he is wanting stuff and he isnt online.....i will check to see if the magenta flashy walls are in just basegame)

That pretty much sounds like his video card won't handle the later EPs and SPs.  With each new pack, EA has increased the demands graphics making the older cards on desktop and laptop obsolete.  You could try playing with the drivers, but don't expect much.
