Could you post your Computer's DxDiag?
To gather a DxDiag on your computer, please follow the steps below:
If you have Microsoft Windows XP:
1. Click the Start button on the Windows Taskbar.
2. Select Run.
3. Type dxdiag in the available text field.
4. Click OK.
5. Click Save All Information.
If you have Windows Vista/Win 7 and do not have a Run selection:
1. Click On Start
2 Type dxdiag into Search Box
3. Click Save All Information.
Either use two posts to post all or only post the part up to [sound device].
Please let me know if you have a switchable graphic card. That usually does not show in the DxDiag.
Hello?
Must be that EA GAMES Sell us games with viruses in them.
Error 12 is because you have a 32 bit system. Find all info on Error 12 here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-3/FAQ-Save-Errors-Error-12-13-15-16/td-p/652
As for the crashes, your graphic chip is below specs. You only have 32 MB of dedictated memory. The minimum requirements are 128 MB. The drivers are from 2009 (which might be the newest ones but it's worth checking again). I can't tell from your DxDiag if you also have a graphic card in there but if not, try lowering your graphic options to see if that helps.
