PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA while starting The Sims 2 Apartment Life
Major issue while trying to run The Sims 2 Apartment Life. All I was asking it to do is create "blank" neighborhoods so I can start new games with. I was restarting it because it only made the "tutorial" neighborhood and I wanted it to make all the other neighborhoods in my game. Luckily for me I did save backup copies before I deleted the rest of the folder.
But when I attempted to restart the game, it crashed the whole operating system.
Not that it matters, the game itself has SecuROM DRM on board, not that it most likely contributed to the crash...
Yeah, I did get my neighborhoods rebuilt, it's just that it takes freakin' forever to get to the neighborhood selector (as if it was run for the first time).
Fortunately it doesn't appear that I wasn't able to reproduce the steps leading to the crash, so I would assume it would be a temporary problem, but there might have been an issue with a fragmented pagefile. After all, this game hadn't run in my system since last March, so it may be a beast now to start and run in fullscreen and windowed modes.
CHKDSK has been scheduled for the next run (/F switch).
