I forget to say it, but i did
i scanned with 2 antivirus both up to date with virus definitions, and 2 antispywares, both up to date too and my computer is perfectly clean

Hi

First i apologize if i do some language's mistakes but i'm french

Now my biiiiiiig problem:

one week ago i bought a new computer.
CPU Intel Dual Core 6420
3 Go RAM
Graphic card Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX (768 Mo RAM)
no sound card, sound comes from my mastercard.
All my drivers are up to date. (i checked again yesterday, no new version)
i'm working with win XP Pro SP2

I installed the game and all the EP's on my new computer, loaded my saved downloads , ran the game and .... it crashed after 5 min  : fatal error has occured the program will be close (or something like that, it's translated from french  )
The game was working with the same downloads on my old computer, but just in case i deleted all the downloads . Same problem again :sad3:

to make a long story short
i formated my hard drive and installed windows again
installed the game and all ep's.I applied the appropriate pach after every installation, before the next one.(game , patch, ep1, patch ......)
didn't put any download file or lot in my ea games\sims2 folder
stoped my fierwall,antispyware, antivirus (and my internet connexion too to avoid any risk)
went in task manager and stopped every non system task exept explorer and task manager (as suggested in the sims 2 official website )
launched the game
enter in pleasantville and waited 2 min in the neighborood doing nothing ....
and the game just stopped, without any error message

has someone any idea of what's the problem ?

thanks for your help !
