Hello,

I suggest you to test your system if it meet the minimum requirement. Please follow this simple step:

1) Go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ (In your broweser)
2) And then select the game you want test. Example The Sims 3
3) Finally click the "Can You Run It" button.

It'll take few minute to detect and test your system. And it'll ask you to download one file. Just download it.
After that, it'll show you the result.

Thank you.

Hello,

And be sure to update your graphic card's drivers to the latest version and then restart your PC.

Hi,

There is nothing we can do unless you can upgrade you system. But your notebook is small one. And it really not suitable for gaming purpose. So I suggest you to get a desktop. And I wish you can get one Smile

Hello,

Yes, looks like a Netbook. These aren't very powerful and really shouldn't be used for gaming; usually only gaming, mail, messenger etc.
I think this is causing the error. Even if you can start the game, I don't think you're able to play on lowest settings, although you can try.

Please send me the System Requirement Lab's result for your Graphic Card too.
