My Game Is Not Running Right
Prudensh:
You have my sympathy. But if your Notebook was sold to you on the premise that it would be able to play the Sims 2 & expansions with no problems, and if it was 'custom built' to do just that, I'd think you'd have a good argument for a refund.

This is a notebook computer
Your core duo processor is fine (even if its specs are a bit low) for the sims + all the expansions (I play the sims and all expansions including FT on my sony VIAO which has the exact same processor, but I have a real separate video chipset), but the on board video might pose a problem because the on board video depends heavily on your CPU to help it render graphics.
According to the dell web site, if you have a brand new 1525 you have a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 which is not directly listed so it might not have enough power to run the sims and all the expansions with even the basic standard settings enabled (like reflections and shadows, etc). I see there is a brand new driver from 5/12/08. Have you installed that? Also I see that the notebook displays 1280x800 but since its a built in video processor you should first try to play without all the bells and whistles turned on. Try turning off shadows, etc to get reduce the load on your video card and see if that makes a difference in the playing speed. If it does then you know you're on the right track.
