Hi, has anyone had problems with playing sims 2 on vista home premium 32bit? Everything installed fine and game loads fine but in gameplay I'm getting black streaking lines across the screen. I'm running a Q6600 quad core 2.4ghz processor, 4gb of ddr2 ram, 750gb f1 samsung spinpoint HD, and an ATI Radeon hd4870 512mb, gddr5(direct x 10.1) graphics card. It's a pretty top spec pc and I cant understand why I'm getting some kind of conflict. Can anyone help, or should I just power up the old windows xp pc for the kids to play Sims 2? cheers.
