I'm trying to uninstall and re-install the game.  I've uninstalled all the EPs and SPs in the EA Games Program File folder, but the Happy Holiday SP did not show up there.  I did a search of my computer, and I can't find it.  My game won't uninstall until I've gotten rid of all EPs and SPs first.  Does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks!

I know you guys are probably sick to death of these, but I'm at my wit's end and have no idea where to go from here, so I am begging for help.

I have all EP's and stuff packs, and everything was peachy for a couple of months.  The only weird thing was that I had to re-enter my CD key everytime I would load my Seasons game.  (No icon showed up on my desktop either, though my friend's Seasons game put one on hers, so I do believe it was supposed to.)  Then about a month ago, the blue screen started showing up with regular frequency.  I upgraded to a nVidia GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card (and yes, it is hooked directly to a 650 watt PSU), and updated the driver.  I also updated the chipset driver.  I tried to do the whole memtest86 thing that beosboxboy suggested (thanks for all the helpful info, BTW), but it was all Greek to me.  

Anywho, I can load my game just fine (takes about 30-45 min. with 5+ gigs of cc), and build and buy modes are no problem, but I can only be in the CAS screen for about 30 minutes before graphics start wigging out, and in the actual game no more than 5-7 minutes before it freezes, or crashes.  Yes, I did think it might be heat related, and I took the side panel off and added extra fans for a nice, refreshing cross breeze.  Heck, I even put an oscillating fan on it, but had no luck.  From what I've read, nVidia suggests fixing the problem by putting my graphics at the lowest setting, which seems asinine to me.  Why did I spend $400 upgrading to "the Cadillac of graphics cards" (according to the geeks at Best Buy) and a new PSU to get crappy graphics?

Okay, off my soap box...here are my system specs:

So, does anyone have any ideas?  Could it be the Seasons disks themselves?  (BTW, I tried to uninstall that EP, but there was no response.  Can I do it through the Control Panel?  Mind you, I am completely computer illiterate, so detailed explanations would be SOOO appreciated!)  Or do I need to add more memory?  

Thanks so much for any help you can offer!

I don't know if this is Seasons related or not.  Just wondering if anyone else is having trouble training their toddlers.  The first house I played, the girl was taught to walk in less than a second (no cheats, no smart milk), but her dad spent hours trying to teach her to talk, and it didn't raise the gauge at all.  Potty training going at the normal rate.  The next house, no luck on any of it.  I do have some hacks, so it's quite possible that it's a conflict.  I just thought I'd ask if anyone else had this problem, and what they did to fix it.

I downloaded the updated version of the insim, but that didn't help.  I was going to use the toddler trainer to give the toddlers the skills that I can't seem to teach them, but the only options are "Change Model"/"Information"/"Delete".  So, that won't work either.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! :worship:
