Re: Sims 1 now launches fine after update but crashes after 15 minutes of gameplay

cgtoad625330  There are no Windows Error Reports in your dxdiag, which means either the dxdiag couldn't find the info, or the info is being deleted, for example with a cleaner app.  If you use such an app, please disable or uninstall it until we're done troubleshooting here—the WERs are useful and sometimes critical information.

Look for an error that happened at exactly the time of your most recent Sims 1 crash.  If you find one, double-click it to see more details, then copy that info and paste it into a reply here.  If you don't see a new error, check back in an hour or so—the Reliability Monitor doesn't always update right away.and look for
