| I cannot get Sims 2 to run on it. It crashes giving me an ialmrnt5.dll error
| and it dumps everything and restarts. I know others that are running the
| intel centrino on their laptops and no problems .. what am I missing ??
|
| Thanks in advance !

That message would appear if your card is unfortunately
not one of the cards supported by the SIMS 2 game.
For the list of graphic cards supported by SIMS 2:

If you know of others who have an unsupported chipset like the Intel
and got it to work with the game, you might want to check with them..
