the sims: jumping screen?

[morgan.alice]

i recently decided to revisit my collection of sims games and loaded
the sims
the sims: house party
the sims: vacation
the sims: superstar
onto my laptop (it meets all of the requirements for the game) but when i went into the game it looked like this:

the tool bars appear to be jumping around.
i tried re-installing superstar but it made no difference.
at first i was able to create a family and enter properties (although from there i could do nothing as there was no bottom toolbar and the image was scattered) but now if i click anything a box opens saying "nobody lives there... create a family... etc..."

any help would be appreciated!

What are the game specs?
What are your computer specs?

e.g. ram, os....

check your drivers. i've had similar problems with many games and it usually turns out to be drivers of one thing or another if not, then possibly version confliction.
