I was literaly playing the sims yesterday and to day it won't even load.
All it does is give an error report message.
"The Sims has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Error signature
AppName: sims.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.0 ModName: sims.exe
ModVer: 1.0.0.0 Offset: 0000986f
I have uninstalled and removed all regristry keys by hand before reinstalling.
I have tried other optical drives.
I have used the various flags recomended in various other posts.
I have done spyware, adware and antivirus.
I have done a regclean.
I have run scandisk.
The part that boggles my mind is the fact that it worked fine for the last 3 or 4 days and then stopped without any changes to the system.
any ideas?
