I upgraded to XP a little over a month ago from ME. When
I run my game called The Sims my computer now suddenly
cuts itself off. This never happened before until after
I installed XP. What could be causing this. Also once
you upgrade to XP are there any important settings that
remain on the system from ME?
 
Have you checked the Sims web site to be sure your version is compatible
with XP, do they have patches or an updated version for XP?

It also might simply be related to other things on your system, place the XP
CD in the drive, when the setup screen appears, select "Check System
Compatibility" as any issue there my be the cause of your problem.

Also check Event Viewer, open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open
Event Viewer, look for errors that correspond to when the problem appeared,
double click the error, the information contained within may give a clue as
to the source of the issue.
