· Click on Start
· Right-Click on My Computer
· Click on Properties
· On System Properties, click on the Advanced tab
· Click on the Settings button under Performance
· Click on Advanced under Performance Options
· The third box from the top should be labelled Virtual Memory. Click on the Change button.
· Make sure that the Custom option is selected.
· In the Initial Box, set it to 1000
· In the Maximum Box, set it to 3000
· Click on the Set button, then Ok.

I've tried this, but it didn't work.

*Patching the game
*Deleting Custom Content
*Reinstalling only the Sims 2 with no expansions
*Using both the touchpad and a mouse
*Updating Drivers
*Changing mouse options
*Disabling The touchpad
*Running in compatibility mode

I've already done the first 3, so I'm gonna try to do the rest.
But what happens if none of this works? What should I do then?
