Forum Discussion
No I cant all i see is System display sound input in my dxdiag. so try again and stop telling me to do that
@MandyLovesPink35 Please post a screenshot of what you see. Again, the dxdiag function is built into Windows and has worked more or less the same way for a very long time. If it's not working that way for you, I need to see exactly how.
now I am starting to get this message unable to start game service initalization failed and I dont know why everything is new from my sims 3 folder and I reinstall everyting
@MandyLovesPink35 Did you ever have Sims 3 installed on this computer before, and if so, what method did you use to install it: Origin, discs, or Steam? I also really do need a dxdiag. Again, if you're not seeing the layout I've described, please post a screenshot.
Origin and the last time I CANT DO A dxdiag SO * OFF WITH THAT
SEEE CANT DO IT
The only difference with the DxDiag between your system and the guide @puzzlezaddict posted is that you don't have to click "Run 64bit DxDiag" anymore, the data is collected at start.
So, wait until the green bar is gone > Click on "Save all Information" > Save the "DxDiag.txt" file to your desktop and load it up here like puzzle's guide suggested.
Two things:
a.) It would be nice if you also anwser the questions @puzzlezaddict asked. This questions are important for the troubleshooting processes.
b.) it would also be nice if you could curb your temper a little bit. Puzzle knows what she is doing and she is also a voluntarist that tries to help you in her free time.
stop asking me to a DxDiag I cant do it for the last time
I just explained to you how you can do it, and I know that it works.
So that leads to the conclusion that you don't want to do it, and that is fine of course, we just can't help you then because we need info about your system to be able to help you.
Have a nice day. 🙂
there you go and now leave me alone about it
@MandyLovesPink35 The driver for your Nvidia graphics card is over a decade old, and a component of the Nvidia Control Panel is crashing. You can get the last driver released for your graphics card here:
https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/87987/en-us
Please read the instructions carefully before installing.
And again, I need to know whether you've ever installed Sims 3 on this computer before, and if so, how. The service initialization error is most often caused by leftover registry entries from a previous install; the normal uninstall process does not remove these entries. If you're not interested in providing this information, you can of course look into cleaning your computer's registry yourself, either manually or with a tool like Piriform's CCleaner. But you'll want to leave the registry entries for the current install intact, or else uninstall the game, clean the registry, and reinstall.
As an example, you can find instructions for removing stray registry entries in this EA help article, under some spoilers:
https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/the-sims/the-sims-3/manually-uninstalling-the-sims-3/
Again, please read the instructions carefully before deleting anything.
I probably won't have time to answer again until tomorrow, so if you're still stuck then, feel free to post back.
