 I can't play sims 2, when I do ctrl alt delete it says "sims 2 (not responding)".

Requirements:

* Windows 98, 2000, ME, or XP

* 256MB of RAM

* A graphics card on the supported graphics card list (preferably one with T&L support)

* CPU: 800MHz Pentium 3 or equivalent (if you have a graphics card which supports T&L). Those who do not have a graphics card which supports T&L will need a 2.0GHz processor.

* At least 3.5Gb of hard drive space.

* Monitor Resolution: 800x600 minimum, 1024x768 recommended. Higher resolutions available.

* Keyboard, mouse, speakers

Below is the current list of graphics cards supported by The Sims 2:
* ATI RadeonTM series (7000 or better)
o Radeon 7000/VE series (non-T&L; requires 2.0 GHz processor)
o 7200, 7500
o 8500, All-In-Wonder 8500
o 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800
o X300, X600, X800

* Nvidia® QuadroTM series
o Quadro, Quadro2, Quadro4

* Nvidia® Geforce series (GeForce2 and better)
o GeForce2
o GeForce3, 3 Ti
o GeForce4, 4Ti, MX 420, 440
o GeForce FX 5200, 5600, 5700, 5800, 5900, 5950
o GeForce 6600, 6800

* Intel® Extreme Graphics (non-T&L; requires 2.0 GHz processor)
o 82845, 82865, 82915

I have ME, I have more then 2 times the 256 Requirement of ram (i have 640). When I had 256 before, I could play it fine. Decided to install it and it wont' open.

 1) Do you have the proper graphics card? The ones that come with most computers don't work too well with it. I had trouble and my brother (computers are his career) said I just need to get a better graphics card.

2) Did you get the special dvd edition and if you did do you have a good enough dvd drive?

got the real game, not dvd. when I had 256 before the only problem was speed, so graphics and all the other stuff worked fine.
