Computer help: How do I get a game to run on Windows XP? |
|
Ok, so I decided to play The Sims: Hot Date for the first time in awhile recently. It didn't work. I reinstalled it, and it still doesn't work.
It used to work on my laptop just fine. But now it evidently won't function because it doesn't support Windows XP. But there was no problem before... What could I do? Every time I start it the starup screen appears, but then it drops me right back onto the desktop and that's it.
On a wider scale, why can't computers just do the same thing every time you want them to?

2. Check out Google groups, if all else fails. |

I'd look into it further, but I think I'm coming down with something...don't feel good.
