Help the sims2 double deluxe loading and then freeze it!

Recently I bought sims3 that plays very well, so I decided to get the sims2 double deluxe it will load but then freezes and the screen black, then tell does not.  I have Windows vista and the back of the box, it is said that it is running in windows vista.  Help, please.  I read one of the solutions was to delete your temporary files.  I'm not a computer person, so I'm afraid to remove or change anything.  I've updated drivers, changed to admin user and it compatible to windows xp pack 2.  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
