Re: [FAQ] Troubleshooting Steps

I went to documents/electronicarts but there was no sims 3 folder just the CAW Tool. and when I try to bypass the launcher it says: "Unable to start game   Service initializalation failed (0x024e424f)"  I have a Windows 7 Toshiba, and I only own TS3 Base Game. It USED to run well, but one day it just stopped. I DID get mods an CC, but it ran fine with all of them. HELP? (I'm positive its the computer, because I've recently installed TS3 on my aunt's computer, and it ran great.)
