Title: more trouble after adding shaders on to startup list Post by: LynnMar on 2006 December 13, 14:29:26 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.

My FX 5200 only had 128 MB. :P I highly doubt putting new DDRs on old mobos will work (and it might just fry your mobo and/or DDR). Title: Re: more trouble after adding shaders on to startup list Post by: LynnMar on 2006 December 14, 00:31:21 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 |
