My sims 2 keeps crashing on my dell inspiron with windows vista?
i have played the sims 2 double deluxe on my old laptop many of times and it works fine i then got a new laptop for christmas a dell inspiron which mathces all the specs needed to run sims2 but it keeps chrashing when i finish making a new family or click on a house can any one help me?
looking at Dell's website, the Inspiron 1525's seems to have Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100, instead of dedicated graphics cards. That chipset just does not run any Sims2 games well consistently, and gets a big "NO" for Celebration Stuff. Some of those laptops also seem to only have 1GB of memory, which will also cause problems, especially if you are trying to run any of the newer expansions, and since this laptop has Vista, I wouldn't even try to play Sims2 on it.
Here is a chart showing system recommendations from actual players (not the estimates that EA gives out)

Now if you can manage to get to a neighborhood, in the lower left corner, look for the options or settings button. Go to graphics, and turn all the settings down as far as you can. Shadows off, object detail low, etc. That may help you out. And whatever you do, do not get any new custom content, especially clothes, hair or make-up. If you are already having problems playing sims, adding more content will only make the problem worse.
If the game still doesn't play with all the graphics settings turned down, the only other suggestion I have, is to get one of the Sims Stories games instead. They have lower requirements, and are supposed to run fine on most laptops

Your old laptop probably had Windows XP, and not Vista. Vista is a memory hog, and that is one likely reason why Sims2 DD will not play on your inspiron.
