Unable to play the sims 3, error pops up that reads "service installation failed (0x0175d824)".

Original title: Sims 3 Setup error service?

Hello! I tried the support of EA, but they were unable to help my situation. I also tried google, but did not get a lot of research.

Anyway, I tried to play the Sims 3, but since I did an update of the Windows 7 service pack and an update for my NVIDIA graphics card, it will not open the game. Instead, an error pops up that reads "service installation failed (0x0175d824)". It worked fine up until the point was I updated my computer and then it didn't work anymore. I don't know if it's a system error or other thing, but google and EA technical support has suggested that it is a registry error. I downloaded a registry cleaner and it has really helped, or have manually uninstall then reinstall the Sims 3 game.
It has also been suggested, I try a clean boot, but I'd really rather than my last resort.

Hello

I suggest you follow these methods and check.

Method 1: Perform the clean boot and open the game. We are on a show to see if third-party applications are stop the opening match.

To do this, follow the steps in this link:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

NOTE: After you check the clean boot feature configure Windows to use a Normal startup using step 7 proposed in the above mentioned link.

Method 2: Check this link suggestions. The problems of the game performance

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/fixing-game-performance-problems

 

Method 3: Uninstall the Nvidia drivers, download and install the updated drivers on the manufacturer's Web site and check.

Updated drivers for the graphics card and check.

Method 4: Run system restore.

Restore the computer to the date where it worked great:

NOTE: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

I hope this helps!
