    huh, message pop-up?

    It stands, click the bar to see bigger image, it's not a pop-up

    It's a picture from systemrequirementslab.com

    Sorry, I mean when you start the game what happens exactly? Does the game crash? Is there an error message that comes up? Does the screen go black? Does the computer restart/shut down?

    Also, you may want to re-upload that screenshot with the first tab blacked out. Your email can be seen and that' not something you want spammers to get a hold of.

    Did you download the updated installer?

    You need the Windows 7 Updates first.
    You can install the updates from here:
    TheSims2.com - Updates
    Expansion add-on packs, most be install in order, Pack 1, pack 2 etc.

    If theog's suggestion above does not work, try reinstalling the game.

    Also navigate to:
    C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents

    And see if there's a folder called EA Sports/Sims 2.
