My answer was directed to OP who does not have the folder.

It's a bit hard to help if everyone posts in 10 different threads. All very chaotic here 😉

Could you post this info: 

  1. Click on Start and then type the following into the search prompt at the bottom: perfmon /rel
  2. Press Enter to proceed.
  3. A window will open and in there you can click on the red circles with a white X.
  4. After clicking the X, the info on the bottom will update. Choose the Sims 2 Critical Event one and right click on it and choose "View Technical Details"
  5. Now on the next window, choose Copy to clipboard at the very bottom and post this into a reply to us here.

Well, it's in my maternal language, so just briefly...

I guess, that this is important?
Name and version of fault module (is it right translation? :D):
Název chybného modulu:    PAUL.DLL
Verze chybného modulu:    4.1.1.20

Code and Shift(?) of exception:
Kód výjimky:    c0000094

If it just means, that my computer can't handle it, I guess, I'll have to live with it 😃 but I read on forums, that more people have the same problem...

    No, probably not your computer. Many users have this issue. That stupid Paul.dll (which is part of SecuRom) seems to cause a conflict on certain systems. I don't know why.

    Do you maybe have any downlaod versions of Sims 3 or Sims Medevial ?

      No, I don't have any version of Sims3 or Medieval...

      Maybe I still have Sims1 - 8 in 1 somewhere in computer, that's all, I had to download it (can't recall where), because half of my old CDs don't work anymore and I was nostalgic. :D

      So for now nothing we can do about it?

        I honestly don't know atm. I'm unsure what version of paul.dll works and if you can just download one somewhere (usually don't recommend that). Unfortunately it's the weekend too.

        I'm still trying to figure this one out but I see the paul.dll error on almost every report and someone did have luck with just replacing it with another version.

        SecuRom wasn't introduced until Sims 2 so you won't find it on SIms 1. I do think it's on some of the Sims 2 discs but I don't know which ones. I'll be making a thread now to gather some info
