I tried changing the compatibility to XP on the properties of all the programs (Sims2 and it's expansion packs are not Vista compatible), but it did not help, and the programs would not run properly. I did this on the advice of the EA Games website, which offered no further solution. It really is a shame, for I actually do like Vista, it looks like it probably is a great improvement from XP, but since I bought the laptop primarily to play games (since my other laptop's disc drive will not function), this conflict has me reluctantly needing to switch.
