Keeps freezing!
I got Sims 2 the other day, downloaded it and I play it but, whenever I click to make a family or something or enter a house with a family it freezes, and I have to turn of my laptop off and back on again! it's really annoying because it keeps lagging and freezing. I downloaded DirectX 9.0c and I read the manual about how to start it but I can't find DirectX on my computer. And I don't have an Anti-Crash thing either. Someone send me the right link 'cause I think I downloaded one that doesn't work!

DirectX 9.0c
Is this compatible with Windows Vista ? Some problems with the Sims could be to do with the processor maybe ????
