GRAPHIC and CRASH problem. [SOLVED]

I dont know why, but sims just keeps on crashing. Its okay for an hour then it suddenly crashes, sometimes only the game, sometimes also my computer, and when I play, there's this graphic proble, I dont know how to explain it, but it's like the land keeps on flashing.. it turns from green to white or blurry and there are this irritating horizontal streaks of white. I dunno anything about it. .Please help

Do you have the latest drivers for your Graphic Card?

I dunno how to check exactly. .I dunno know even.

Drivers can be downloaded here:


NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

ATI: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx

Will updating the graphics card, actually help the crashing problem too? Cause im kinda scared to do it. I dunno what to pick. I cant even install new Cc. on the launcher cause it just keeps on hanging. please help!!

Hello,

I don't know if it'll actually fix the problem, but it's always good to Update your Graphic Card drivers, because it'll only fix things, never make them worser.

Open "Start" and type dxdiag in the search box. When a new window opened, click "Save as log file..." or something like that. Then, upload that file here, so I can decide which driver you need.

Ughm, I typed dxdiag, and a lot of web links just appeared and I dont know what your reffering to that i'll upload. but I know my graphic driver, I just dont know what to download.

My driver:ATI Radeon X1270
Decvice Id: 701f

i know how to check the driver, so if you need any more information to help me, i can tell you. Thanks

Hello,

I found the drivers, one last thing I need to know is; what is your Operating System? (Windows XP, Vista, 7 ánd 32- or 64- bit?)

Windows Vista 32-bit

Hello,

Here's the driver you need to download and Install: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Legacy/Pages/radeonaiw_vista32.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.13&lang=English (Scroll down to "Download")

Hey, it says that it isnt really associated with Windows 7, and I'm planning to change my operating system to window 7 anytime this month, do I have to download another one?

If you do so, normally you're not even able to Install that driver, so it don't think it would cause any problems.

thanks, I got to play the game already and the graphics is fine.
