Listen, I didn't see any other subforum for this, so here it goes:
I got The Sims 2 and FIFA 2005 for christmas, right? So, yesterday, I installed FIFA 2005. Rebooted the machine and all that, and, when I click on the shortcut to play the game, a screen, smaller than the whole desktop appears with the fifa logo. So far so good, but suddenly that XP error message ("fifa2005.exe found a problem (...)") appears and that "splash screen" disappears and the game doesn't open, of course...
I tried installing The Sims 2 later, rebooted, etc. and the same thing happened: splash screen, error message, splash screen closes.
Does anybody knows how to solve this, or at least why it happens?
