Need help Please!!!

All of a sudden once my game is loaded and I go to a lot it starts flashing red.

I havnt installed a new ep, I've had a new graphics card for about 3 months, and before that I was on a lesser graphics card and the game still worked the lot isnt a downloaded one, and this is the first time it has happend before.

I did install scriptorium this arvo then loaded the game and thats when it started, so uninstalled and tried again but still doing it so took out downloads folder and still doing it. If anyone knows please help. I know its not my graphics card or ram. Wondered if downloaded objects could sometimes break apart or something and hide themselves somewhere else then corrupt the game somehow??

Any help would be great!

Cheers

Have you tried updating your drivers or, do you have the latest version of Direct X?

[ekrubynaffit]

I have the latest of direct x though will check that now to make sure, thanks! Updated drivers the other day for something else though cant remember what that was for!

[EKozski]

OK.

Now, did you uninstall the old drivers? Dufus me, forgot to do that once, that's why I'm asking, just in case you forgot to.

[ekrubynaffit]

yeah I did, and just downloaded new direct x and that didnt work dam I was hoping that was going to be it!

I did a Google search on Red Flashing, and it seems to be a video card or hardware issue.

You're new video card may be unsupported.
Here's a list of video cards supported by the Sims 2.

Another thing I just thought of, are you sure you got all the files of Scriptorium out of your Smis 2 folder.

I think it leaves bits and pieces here and there.

my husband has  just told  he didnt update the drivers and I uninstalled the old ones so I'm beginning to think that is no doubt my problem lol!! They say communication is key in a partnership!! Just downloading new drivers now so hoping this will be it! Thanks for your help EKozki
