Thank you,
I have tried to do the cmd scan, however when I type in 'sfc/scannow', This message pops up that says, you must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility. What Does This mean? Does This mean that I have to have sims running when I do the scan?
Thank you for continuing to look for solutions to try and help me 😕mileyhappy:
I also sometimes get the a message when I am playing on my sims game that shuts the sims game down and the screen goes blank, after a few seconds it takes me back to my homescreen on my laptop and then it say windows is looking for a solution to the sims 3- sims 3 is having a problem. This has also lead to me not be able to play on one of my accounts at all because every time I log on I will play for a few seconds and This message will happen and sims will crash. I am not sure if This will have anything to do with me not being able to install some of my sims 3 game.
Click Start, and then type cmd in the Search box. Right-click cmd in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
As for the game shutting down while you're playing, there could be a lot of reasons as to why it's doing that. It could be some program running in the background that is causing your game to go into desktop, it could be a warning from windows about something about to expire like your anti-virus software, or windows is trying to make some updates, or even an alert if you aren't running a genuine windows 7 version, all of these things launch an alert window in your PC that will cause the game to stop and go into desktop.
