Game crashes

I've tryed installing and running both "The Sims" (with all the latest patches) and "Summoner" on XP with no luck. The Sims, if I could get it running, would eventually shut down and return to the desktop with out any error messages. Summoner would start but would later crash the whole system causing it to reboot and recover. I've tryed running both programs in compatibility mode. The Sims would attempt to start then crash with an error message. Summoner would behave no different than before. I've also tryed disabling Norton Anti-virus 2002. That still did not change the programs behavior. Any clues out there?

Try to set your virtual memory manually and set more if its needed.XP use swap file even before it run out RAM(I heard so anyway).
