There is a huge thread over at MTS for this subject. After reading every thread, following every link, dl 2 small softwares, nothing helped. So as a last resort I decided to rollback to an old driver which was mentioned a few times: 71.89. I have GEforce 6200 turbo charge. And guess what, it WORKED!! I have played for 4 hours and still no BSOD. Touch wood. I thought I tell you all here just in case it will somebody else.
All those of you who had the problem fixed with more ram, loke 2 gig, how much did you have before? And what new video card did you get? I am trying to solve this problem myself. It had started with FFS, which was the last installment before Pets, so I doubt it that it has something to do with the game. It is just so greedy for memory.
I used to have this old driver and it worked well for all EPs. Now with Pets it does not anymore. I too get the BSOD with the hour glass. So I have updated it to the newest driver (nvidia 93..) and this did not help. It is so frustrating and I wish a real good computer guru could help us. Mine could not.
Hmm, reading my remarks again I feel they were a bit rude and sounding ungrateful. Sorry about that, I did not mean it. Also my english is not that bad but still there is a bit of a barrier as to find the right words. I am grateful for all those free dl and I realize some of you have got a life other then the sims, lol. So again, I am sorry.
Kavar, I had your lovely hair for ages. I would love to use the black one too but it only comes with brown eyebrows. Would it be difficult to make the corresponding hair and eyebrow colours?
