WHY DOESN'T SIMS 3 IS NOT WORKING ON WINDOWS 8?

I JUST BOUGHT ALL THE SIMS 3 GAMES, 18 IN TOTAL AND RECEIVED THE ASSURANCE THAT THEY WILL WORK FINE IN WINDOWS 8, BUT WHEN I TRY TO PLAY, IT IS IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE GAME. I TRIED THE PARAMETERS COMPATIBILITY FOR WINDOWS XP AND WINDOWS VISTA, BUT IT STILL ISN'T COMPATIBLE. I CAN'T HAVE MY MONEY ON GAMES, SO HE'S GOING TO $400

I'm having the same problem, so I click on 'Properties' for the Sims and changed to 'XP Service pack' or 'Vista' and it worked OK, until the game started to freeze every 5 seconds.

Then I went to a forum of Sims and someone said that the graphics card may be overheating, and you must use the "force-sync" or something. I don't believe, but because I have a Nvidia GForce with dedicated 2 GB memory and a processor 2.4 and I'm still having hard.

I think it's Windows 8 and of course Microsoft does not care, I read the answer they sent you, "sorry to hear that you do not have Windows 8. What a joke!

If figure you it out, please let me know because manufacturers are not any help!

  • Sims 2 does not work in Windows 8

    Get Windows 8 pro 64 bit. Wizard upgrade of Ran and he said that some of the expansion packs (and the base game) are not compatible. Is there a way to get an update or something to help?

    Well I just installed Sims 2 on Windows 8 and despite warnings of incompatibility, I opted to start anyway. He threw very well and the woman had just had a solid 1.5 hours of gameplay without a hitch, so even though it is not officially supported at least my Setup seems to work quite OK.

    you are able to install updates and expansions?

  • Why CRYSTAL_REPORT program does not work with windows Vista? __

    Why CRYSTAL_REPORT program does not work with windows Vista?

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

    Windows Vista Compatibility Center

    First thing to do is to check its Vista compatibility at the link above, and if not to see what patches/solutions are available from its manufacturer...

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-compatibility-mode/

    If this is not Vista compatible, read the info on the link above.
    It works for some programs, but not all.

    This applies to software programs, NOT hardware drivers.

    If it's Vista compatible > uninstall it > Re-download/save to your desktop > right click on the setup.exe > run as admin.

    See you soon.

  • my photoshop 5.5 does not work in Windows 10? Why?

    My old Photoshop 5.5 does not work in Windows 10, can I do to make it work?

    Are you talking about 5.5 PS reported 16 years ago? I think I heard someone say that they got that work, it is that such an old program that it is not intended to be run on modern OSS. It is a 32-bit program, and I think that you must have your hard drive partitioned off less than 1 TB, or it will not be installed. There is also the review of folder names. The default is to load the programs (at least in Win) in the folder c:\program files, which is intended for 64-bit programs. PS 5.5 must be loaded in the (x 86) folders, but its installer has no idea about it.

  • Director 11.5 projectors do not work in Windows 98 - why?

    The info product for director 11/5 said it supports windows, but the projectors '.exe' do not work in windows 98.  I get a box full of question marks when I try.  The projector will even run in windows XP.  Older windows platforms are not supported?

    The Readme for Director 11.5 clearly indicates (Adobe Director 11.5 Read Me.pdf):

    Director Player and Shockwave Player
    Windows

    • Intel Pentium IV 600 MHz or higher
    • Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or later
    • Microsoft Windows Vista
    • ...

    There is no suggestion that Win98 is supported, and I don't know where you got the impression as is. It can work if you try to run your projector in compatibility mode (right click on the executable, select Properties-> compatibility)

  • SD card slot does not work on Windows Vista

    I just installed Windows Vista RC1, which has just been published

    Just about everything works except the secure digital memory card slot.

    Until I installed Vista I ran the Compatibility Wizard and he said a few things that may not work, but the one that stood out was "SD Memory Card Format Utility.

    I guess that's why the memory card slot is not working?

    Anyone know how to operate? This isn't the end of the world because I can use the docking station, but his practice which he just work directly at the exit.

    Any help would be great.

    Thank you

    Maybe the new operating system Vista doesn t include the compatible driver for the SD card controller.
    Right now the Vista is not supported by Toshiba because this OS is not official on the market.
