Windows family Basic or professional for the Sims 3?

Nice day.

I bought a new pc (HP Pavilion i-5 kernel, Geforece 640, x 11 direct, family basic of windows OEM...) to play the Sims 3, because I was sick of having problems with the game (slow, freezing...). I started playing the Sims 3 (pc features far beyond the requirements of game). In a few weeks the game has begun to slow down low/freezing. Experts (EA) game told me that the problem might be in the version of Windows and if I install Windows Professional instead of Home basic the problem might disappear. Before I have to spend money (because I don't really have the professional version, I'm fine with, I), I wanted to just listen to an expert: the version of Windows (Home/Professional) really affect the game? Please note that the game automatically installs patches/updates from time to time. And I also keep my basic family Windows updated.

"And freezing problems did not begin at once, only after a couple of stops."
The problem may be a corrupted backup. If the game has several stops trying to roll
Back to an older version save. If it doesn't there has that one save rename (just add a couple of xx or something)
and start a new game. If it not to crash, then you can assume that the old record was corrupted.

""Can't find update tool.exe"or something like".
When you see the error again to get the exact message. 'Something like' is not quite informative.
If the game has not been corrected automatically download patches and install them.

Alternatively, you can reinstall the game and patch it manually with the downloads. It is often the
the safest method, when they are available.

Alcohol-
Try to uninstall it.  Some games do not appreciate a software emulation on a computer and they
not always tell you about it.
Or - check the Configuration of the system first to see if it starts with Windows.
It keeps running in the background can do the trick.

«I just got a new response from EA support Center: it is assumed that the OEM operating system has been badly installed by HP...» "
Everything is possible. The machine must have a recovery partition. Assuming it's not also borked
then use it to restore your Windows installation.
If you continue to have problems, then it may be worth taking into the machine for repair under warranty.
Perhaps you can persuade them to install a full Home Premium Win7;.)

While the machine can be new and you have not installed there is no evil run Disk Cleanup and defraging the HARD drive. It takes longer if you wait until you have a lot of things installed.
There should be no problem with too many applications to start turning however (except alcohol).

AERO is what they call the office flashy Win7 (and Vista) interface.
You can change to Windows Classic and save resources, but it cannot
be necessary if you have enough RAM System. R/click on the desktop and go to personalize.
-Which brings me to another thing that is usually reserved for games more alumni who have a problem with AERO.
Go to the Compatibility tab and check the box - disable Desktop Composition - this will be
Disable AERO while the game is running.

  • Stop Vista event ID 6008 for the Sims 2

    I got Vista 64 Home Premium since 10/2009 and no problems until June 29, 2010.  I've been running the Sims 2 since 10/2009, but from June 29, when playing the game, the computer will randomly turned off completely.  No BSOD, no warning.  I've updated my video card drivers, but that did not improve the situation.  I checked the event viewer and get the event ID 6008, "shutdown system before at (time) on (date) was not planned."  No other error messages, no BSOD.

    The computer feels hot to the touch, it's a gateway LX6810-01 running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit with Service Pack 2.  I ran the Sims 2 hours at a time before (for the last few months, usually 2-4 hours a day, much more the weekend) with no problems, but now sometimes the computer stops while the game is load again, sometimes I can get some time in French - the longest so far is 3 hours.  I can't think of what's happening in the game that could cause this, especially in the loading or menu screens.

    ETA: I have not changed/downloaded/installed anything for the Sims 2 between the moment where he would not plant and the time that he began to be crush/cause the computer to stop.

    FaceTime is forbidden by the law in Saudi Arabia and the UNITED Arab Emirates and is removed from iPhones sold in other countries of the Middle East, if they are used outside the country where they were originally sold. If you plan to use an iPhone outside the Middle East, then don't buy it in the Middle East. The one you bought there FaceTime was illegally imported from another region and sold it.

  • Problems of Windows 7 update in preparation for the upgrade of Windows 10

    My OS is Windows 7 Home and I want to upgrade to Windows 10. However, as I update all necessary upgrades by using Windows update, Internet Explorer fails. I wonder too, I have the app for windows 10 Get, but it crashes immediately after the launch. After the experience I uninstalled the KB3035583 to remove the application. Some say that I have the IE11 to solve this problem. The problem is that when I try to download the updates, Windows 10 is download only. The rest No. I pressed as the GET has started to button, simply download windows 10 and then fails to install (maybe because I don't have the windows application 10 get in my notif bar). I don't know what is happening, please help.

    Please be aware, even if you do not get the Windows 10 app, you can always download Windows 10 as one. ISO file, create a bootable copy and update your system.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate (MVP version) for the upgrade of windows 10

    I read here on the forums that depending on your version (selling retail or OEM), your upgrade to Windows 10 license will be allowed to transfer to a future computer with new hardware or we will be limited to current pc hardware.

    I have a version of Windows 7 Ultimate MVP, is - retail or OEM?

    I would like to know because I want to buy new hardware (CPU, mobo, vidcard etc) in 2016.

    Depending on the response, it might be interesting for me to wait for the Windows Update until next year and buy new hardware before July 29, 2016.

    If the upgrade of Windows 10 has the rights to transfer to a new material based on the version of Windows 7 Ultimate MVP, do I need to install the version of Windows 7 first before the upgrade again to 10 Windows on a new pc?

    Given that the "'free update is based on your current version of Windows 7 and is linked to your current hardware, you will need to re - install Windows 7 on your new hardware and then upgrade to Windows 10 GWX icon before July 29, 2016.
