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.
* In the privilege level section, move the check run this program as an administrator checkbox.
* Click on apply to save your changes.
* Try new software.
I hope it works for you.

You can not. If it is locked to a carrier and you want to use another carrier, you will need to contact one so that it is locked and ask for an unlock. Otherwise, there is nothing you can do.

How can I activate sim free new iphone is?
Buy my first is iphone I just took delivery, but given that I bought unlocked and sim free, it will not be activated. Apple support said that I need a sim card. Like I did, maybe I should have, but I'm here.
So if I want to use my iphone as an ipod and a camera and for the most part, how can I activate this self iphone so I can use it on my home wireless network?
I tried iTunes to activate and therefore not supported, but they gave up and said to a sim card.
What are my cheaper options?
I so wish apple included a simple line on the ad that says if you buy this se iphone to use as an ipod and buy you it unlocked, you will not be able to activate it.
Hugh
Cannot activate iPhone without SIM card period.

Can start the Sims 3, open city, but not build sim or play...
I just bought the sims 3 and installed without problem on a laptop, that my father built me. Everytime I open the game it will load and I would like to enter the city by default, but if I try to enter 'create a sim' or starts playing in a home preconstruitse, so that it will look like it will load and flash then a blue with a white error message screen says something on the computer being closed down any damage due to a problem with a certain file... I don't have a lot of time to read, however, because then the computer restarts. I checked my computer on the criterion "Can you run it?" to www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest and it did not, but my father said that the processor in my computer is better than suggested by the required for the game. He told me to try to close all the programs that run at startup which absorb the RAM, but there was none, and then he said to check the update of windows for updates I need, I did, but nothing has changed. A friend helped me control my computer from hijackthis.com with virus, and I used my norton antivirus as well, but it came with nothing. I also uninstalled and reinstalled without change. What can I do to play this game?
As soon as the game starts and you go the neighborhood selector, click on Options and adjust graphics settings to "low". Each of them! Check if the problem persists. Then the answer! ;)

The update for the a5000 Lenovo (A5000_S124_151118_8G_ROW), it is very bad, after I updated the phone he made my phone cannot read sim card then please help me fix the phone is my only phone
Note from the admin; edited to be more descriptive subject
I noticed this new update yesterday, but I did try to update again as expected there are maybe still bugs on the new update (A5000_S124_151118_8G_ROW). You can try to reboot the device, try a different sim just to exclude that there is no problem with the SIM card. Try resetting to factory default, but make sure that you back up your data on a pc as a precaution. Lets us know what is happening!

Can't intall itunes since there is an older version
I am trying to install itunes, but I get an error message saying that it can not be installed because there is an older version. I tried unintalling everything related to itunes and apple in my laptop but I get the same error. The problem started when I updated the new version of itunes 12.3.2 and the screen of the itunes store would not prevent blink, so I uninstalled itunes and when I tried to re - install, I was unable to.
For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.
Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.
More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.
Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

So, I recently formatted my laptop just because I had to change my hard drive. I installed BACK Windows 7 Home Premium and downloaded all the drivers on the HP website. Some of them have been installed correctly, but some, like the webcam, dvd software were not. For now, my remote does not work correctly and some features like when I raise the volume I can't see the bar on the screen. When I try to install them, they extract the files and then stops. Please I hope you undeerstand and help.

Install 7zip and restart, you will need to extract the Media Smart software to do a manual install.
http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Record Media Smart DVD on the desktop and right click to use 7zip to extract the files. Click this folder and open src.
In the src folder find the Setup program, a sixth from the bottom to install Media Smart DVD.
Do the same for your Menu of Smart Smart Media and reboot, you should get volume OSD to work. In some cases, you need 3 Media Smart Applications to work with the Menu for the volume OSD.
Do the same for your webcam as well.
ENE CIR driver is for your remote control, use the method above to install it manually.
Run this utility from Intel to find the most recent version of the Chipset driver. Do this first before all of the above.
