Hello, I've been having a bug that often occurs when I play The Sims 2 (I have all the expansions)
Here's my error, well I took a screenshot but the message won't post because I'm putting the image URL from imageshack :p

So here’s my configuration:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (dual core)
Nvidia GeForce 7500 LE 512 MB with DirectX 9.0 C
250 GB hard drive
1024 MB of RAM
I'm waiting for your responses!

    Ok, well thanks but do I need to reinstall my graphics card?? How do I do it because I don't want to do something stupid
    Thanks
    PS I've already checked the Sims discussion forum with no results they say something about processors

    it might just be a driver issue and not the graphics card itself

    if you have an nvidia graphics card, go here => https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en and select "graphics drivers" in option 2 and you will see the name of your graphics card and whether it has the latest driver

    Well, I uninstalled my graphics driver and reinstalled it, and I was able to play The Sims 2 for an hour without any bugs (but an hour is too short to tell if it doesn't bug anymore). Anyway, thanks
