more trouble after adding shaders on to startup list

[LynnMar]

Okay well I got my fish back after I added the boolprop usershaders true to my list of cheats  so that my fish would show up,  but then I had to take it out because I started having another problem that I never had before.

  I would play the sims but about every five minutes of play the blue screen would come up and the hour glass would start spinning for about 3 or 4 minutes and then the game would start again.

I have an old computer and 1gig of ram but I only have a 256 mb Nividia g force fx 5200.   I might be able to save up for a better card but my question is if I have a DDR mother board base,  do I have to get only a ddr card?  because everything now is ddr2 or ddr3.  Will they work in my computer?    thanks

I have AGP but I think it is only 4 not 8, even though my card goes up to 8.

Are you using the driver that came with the card? If not, which driver?

My FX 5200 only had 128 MB. 

I highly doubt putting new DDRs on old mobos will work (and it might just fry your mobo and/or DDR).

I tried it with 81.94 and it did not work. 


 I can upgrade to 93.71 which is the latest driver. I installed it and it works okay with the sims but I did not try the  usershader fix  with that driver.  I will try it and see if it works.   thanks
