Graphics problem
Tenshii~Akari:
I see what you mean... I know as you add on to the base game by installing newer EPs/SPs, the demands on graphic card performance increases with the addition of new features and such. I'm probably sure if you ever decide to uninstall any of those EPs you installed, it may just revert back into its working state. Of course, it's not mandatory to do all of that since it's nothing that's deadly serious. Depends on what you want to do in the end. ;)

It's like Tenshii said. All the extra EP's put extra demand on your games graphics, especially Seasons, with the addition of weather. Now, here's the big thing with your graphics...your chipset is non T & L, which means it doesn't support Transform and Lighting calculations, which the Sims 2 needs. If you look at the system requirements for the EP you see the following:
NOTE: If you have a non-T&L capable video card, such as Intel Extreme Graphics, then you need at least a 2.4 GHz processor
If your Inspiron 1300 is typical, then it's got something like a 1.7 GHz processor right? Therein lies your problem.
mrnapolean1:
my processor speed is a Intel celeron 1.60 GHz
so there is no way in fixing it without removing any expansions?
that was my screw up is buying this computer with intel products in it. the next computer i buy will have a amd processor and either a nvidila or ati graphics chip.

Nope, I'm afraid not. You could talk to Dell about upgrading your laptop, but I'm not sure how much that would cost.
mrnapolean1:
so there is no hack i could download?
now i am FOR SURE i am never going back to intel products again!!!!!!
i am going to build me a new computer and it WILL have a amd processor and either a nivdila or ati graphics chip in it. now i can truely say
"INTEL SUCKS"!!!!!!!!!!!!
