Check with EA to see if you have the latest patch for the game.

Make sure that you run a virus scan as well.  Sometimes a virus can be attached to an executable causing the executable to fail to launch.

If you have problems to run a Sims 2 and you think that it is related to compatibility with Windows Vista, you can try to get the game to work running it in Compatibility Mode.

Please make sure that you have downloaded all the necessary updates in Windows Vista, including SP1.

Note: This configuration should be used for the games that have been developed before Windows Vista. To do this, please check the minimum system requirements for your game check if Windows Vista is listed.

1 shortcut icon on the desktop of the game with the right button and choose Properties.
2. in the properties panel, click the Compatibility tab.
3. check the Compatibility Mode box.
4. Select Windows XP (Service Pack 2) in the mode area.
5. click on apply to save your changes.

If you opted not to have a desktop icon installed:

1. find the icon of the game in your games directory.
2. right click on the game and click Customize. This will bring up the Customize menu.
3. Select plays.
4. Select Edit.
5. This will bring to the top of the Properties screen. Click on the Compatibility tab.
6. check executer run in Compatibility Mode, and then choose Windows XP (or any operating system, the game was designed for).
7. press on apply and then press OK. You will be back to the Customize menu.
8. close the Customization screen.
9. now, the game is set to run in Compatibility Mode.

Please note that this will only make the race game in Compatibility Mode if you click the shortcut that you set Compatibility Mode for. All other icons shortcut (for example in your Start menu) will have these changes, as well.

Another step, you want to try running the software as an administrator. To do this:

* Shortcut icon on the desktop of the game with the right button and choose Properties.
* In the properties panel, click the Compatibility tab.
