    Try going to Game Options > Graphics. Then change the Display Type to "Windowed Fullscreen". Then click the "Apply Changes" button.

      @TheSimsDirect No, that did not work. The colors are yellowed, the images are not sharp. It hurts my eyes to play. I have tried repairing and everything else. It is broken and unplayable - again.

        Finally fixed it by toggling DirectX9 and going back to full screen.

      It works in windowed fullscreen, thank you! Still, I think it should work in any display types.
