Not sure what you've downloaded before but you'll need patch 1.57
Thanks, as soon as i was about to follow the steps on the link you sent me, i realised that i no longer had the problem and now something else is occuring! (I know sorry, its just one thing after the other ☹️)
Now its reaching the gaming tips bit after i chose my household but before it starts to load im getting the so called "Blue Screen of Death"
I have windows 8 and ive have this laptop for less than 3 months now so i doubt it can be anything else but the sims
I had this problem before as to why i wiped my whole laptop in the first place but sadly it hasent gone away
Ive checked online but there isnt any help for windows 8 users, now im really stuck ☹️
I know you've done so much already but if you can, please help me with this!
And also it says the error is called "Kernel_data_inpage_error" if that helps anything?
BSOD are usually hardware related and I can't help with those. Do you have anyone that could help you out directly on your computer ? Maybe do a hardware check (check your manual on how to to that).
Do you only have them when playing the game ?
Here's a link to your error message: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-system/blue-screen-with-this-error-code/03276fa2-6dcb-44d0-a778-499d5d00b65d
Oh I thought as much, thank you for all your help though 🙂
The laptop itself did not come with a manual or a disk, only a windows 8 start-up booklet
And yeah it does only occur when I load up the sims unfortunately
There's usually a manual somewhere on the hard disc or you can find it in the internet.
Okay thankyou, you were very helpful 🙂
