What do you mean by: "I had to reset my lap top the other day."
A Factory Reset? A Recovery? A System Restore? A Repair? A Reformat?
That looks like your GPU is running off a default M'sft graphics driver. It sounds like you might need to re-install your motherboard and/or device drivers. Might need to re-update the important system software, too, like BIOS, Windows, DirectX, .NET, etc. The mobo drivers should be obtained from your PC system manufacturer through their updater application. They often tweak the drivers from the various device manufacturers to work best in their specific branded makes/models. So, getting a device driver from, say, ATI isn't always a good choice.
To check if any of that is necessary, post up a dxdiag as crinrict suggested.
*You appear to be running a 64-bit OS, so make sure that you run the 64-bit dxdiag. Just start the dxdiag, wait a moment for it to scan the environment, it'll detect your 64-bit system and offer a choice to run a proper 64-bit dxdiag. If you run the initial 32-bit dxdiag on a 64-bit system it spits back missing/incorrect data.

The incorrect/missing data can range from the OS & SPs installed to the system manufacturer, make/model, BIOS, Dx version, missing devices, the GPU's Dx capabilities like Direct Draw & D3D. From simply confusing to dangerously misleading.
The most consistent error is under the System Devices listings, all of the driver entries will show as: Driver: N/A. It ends up looking as if the mobo is completely missing all chipset/device drivers.
EA's help-post does mention to run the correct dxdiag.

As if making heads or tails of a dxdiag isn't difficult enough, eh? Take a look through some of the dxdiags posted. If you see one that's completely full of System Devices > Driver: N/A, you'll know that's one of them. You sure do a lot of work on this site helping folks out. You're really good at it, too! If you think its useful just add that caveat into your help-posts about running a dxdiag. :robothappy:
I am sorry but I have no idea what your talking about. I was having troubles with my laptop and so I was told to do a factory reset and I did. Ever since I have been having trouble with Sims. When I would play before the game would only take up part of the screen and now it takes up the whole screen and I think that's why its moving so slow.
Sorry, we were derailing your thread. Don't mind the last few posts.
Your computer is a little low in specs so if you say it didn't take up the whole screen, then you were playing in windowed mode. You can change that in your game options.
