Sims 1 and Vista Home Premium

[Guest]

I have all the expansion packs and the Sims Deluxe Edition and I wanted to
put them on my new computer, which came with Vista Home Premium, and NOTHING
is working correctly. I found that my other games I can run them as an
adminstrator and they work fine, but not in this case. If anyone has ANY
suggestions please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated!

Might try plopping down $19.99 for The Sims 1 Complete Collection. It's the
Sims 1 with all expansions and updates. I haven't tried it on Vista, but
it's been updated to new paths that're more WinXP friendly.

I bought Sims I Complete Collection, it played fine for a few times, and now
it shuts itself down while loading. There is no error message. I've
uninstalled and reinstalled and it still does not work. Help?

try right clicking icon, properties, compatibility mode, xp.

Compatibility mode as ThatGuy suggested is good.

Update your video/audio card drivers. Did you install any software since the
last time you played? Sometimes new programs cause other programs to fail.
Windows has been getting a lot of updates recently. That could be it.
