I'm asking this because it keeps crashing my game alot!!! :( And although my Windows XP laptop will run without crashing, its really slow! The Desktop I'm using runs Sims 2 really smoothly but randomly crashes!!! Help?? I tried to google this stuff, but I can never find what I need and I have tried compatibility mode, it does nothing!! :faceslap: Thanks!! :) :cry:

"Is my computer good enough to run Sims 2?" No.

Your problem is that you don't have a graphics card in your machine. Here's a FAQ which explains your problem:

Thanks! I'll look into buying one. I'm not having blurriness or anything, but maybe for now I'll just play Sims 1 or something! Lol! :faceslap:
