Title: Game keeps crashing Post by: Happydinosaur on May 20, 2007, 11:38:18 am I've installed all the expansion packs up to seasons. My game crashes when I try to save it and either quit or go into the neighbourhood and then my computer restarts itself. I think the specifications for my pc should be fine, it's an XP. Could anyone tell me what's wrong with it and how to fix it? Thanks.

I had this problem, and found [apart from updating the vc driver] closing background tasks seems to have cured the problem [fingers crossed] Title: Game keeps crashing Post by: Happydinosaur on May 21, 2007, 03:53:48 pm How do I update it?
