My game hates me :-(
soundandfury:
Okay, my game has been unable to start for about six months, and I'm sick of it! Even when I remove all downloads, it still starts like normal, goes through the regular loading screen, then, when it's almost fully loaded, the music starts sounding like a broken record and the whole thing just disappears. No warning message, nothing. My computer doesn't slow down, like it normally does after it's done running the game. Is it just showing me the opening bit, but not really trying to run the game? I'm going through serious Sim withdrawal, so I figured it was about time to ask the masses.
What the heck is up? Any ideas?

You've deleted your Groups.cache, Accessory.cache, cigen.package, and the files in your Thumbnails folder, right? And have you also tried moving out your SavedSims folder? It's possible a corrupted sim (or some of those other files) may be causing the problem.
If you've done all that, can you list your computer's specs? Like amount of physical RAM, video card, processor, etc.? (you can find this easy by going to Start => Run, typing in dxdiag in the Open box, and once the DirectX Diagnostics Tool window pops up, in the bottom of the first tab that appears and top left of the third ("Display") tab is what we'll need to know.)

Okay. . . sorry it took so long to get back to you, it's been a super-busy week.
Anyway, yeah, I've deleted all of that stuff. So. . . the RAM is 448MB. The processor thing says AMD Athlon(TM) 64 processor 3300+, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.4GHz.
And the video card is the top, left box in display? Alright, I'm just typing everything it says, because I don't know what's important :-P

remove everthing then package your house and uninstall 1 of your games and reinstall it and do your houses it works for me
~Bejeweled~:
Reinstalling should be a last resort for you. Do not reinstall until you feel and know that you've run out of options and you absolutely have to. From your specs, it looks like you don't have that much RAM in the first place, and this might be the problem or not. First back up your sim files, then remove them from the sims 2 folder and start the game. This should generate new user files and if it works then we know it's a problem with your files.
