I have installed Open for Business perfectly fine, but it wont run. After
about 5 minutes of the cd drive starting and stopping, it says "Sims2EP3.exe
has encountered a problem and needs to close..." I have Nvidia GeForce FX
5200 256 MB graphics, 1 Gig Ram, and Intel Celeraon 2.7 GHz CPU.

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?

Sounds like a infested CD. Return it to the store and get another one.
