Sims 2 Windows Vista

[knudson42133]

My Sims 2 game will not work. When I first used it it told me I needed a
patch from the maxis website, so I downloaded it. When I start the game now
it freezes at the beginning where it says Sims 2.

My computer is a Gateway with Windows Home Vista Premium.
It has a AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.60 GHz
Memory RAM 1919 MB
32 bit operating system
Nvidia Geforce 6150SE video card
320 GB Sata ll Hard drive
