When you installed the game, did you make sure you installed it into a
different directory than the original Sims 2? It is very important that it
isn't installed in the same directory. Also, try updating your Video card
drivers. I have the exact same card, and had problems with Sims 2 as well.
After updating the drivers, I had no problems. One last question: Are all of
your Sims 2 installs legit? No copies or cracked versions right?
