To Anyone Who Has Bought This...
Has anyone been able to actually play this game? I tried installing it on both of our computers and it won't install. ...Not even on a computer that's barely a year old.

the age of the computer doesn't matter. A lot of video games need an upgraded graphics card, because the standard graphics card in most computers is not good enough to run games like Desperate Housewives. It's real easy to buy and install a new graphics card, I did 5 years ago so I could play Sims 2, and the one I installed works with Desperate Housewives as well. (It's a Radeon 9200 there's probably better ones available by now, but I've got no complaints)
shareIt won't let me play either. it says my videos messed up but i tried installing all these updates but it still won't let me! i was really looking forward to it 2! tear...
shareHas anyone had problems with freezing?

When I bought the game, I had the same problem. My computer company told me that Microsoft has not made the preoper chip for the computer game itself so if you bought this game and can't install it, you are basically screwed because Walmart wont take it back.
DAMMIT!
The same thing happened to me. I don't understand though, because my sister has the same computer, except for the fact that it's a couple of inches bigger in size. Mine's not even a year old, but when I try to download it it says that my computer does not meet the recquirements.
And guess what? I got it at Walmart.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to use my sister's.
It dont work on my computer ... i got 3 x problems....and by the way thats not only a usa problem germans version dont work either.
.
Yeh i had the same problem 2 jeffboy. The thing is the game isn't compatible with like 30+ graphics cards. Even if u hav a more updated card it mite not work and ud need 2 get the previous 1. To find our wat cards will and wont work go on the following:

This really sux bcoz graphics cards can cost quite a lot. I believe the company is at fault bcoz they dnt specify this problem on the packet. Anywayz hopes this helps u.
i got it for christmas and i can't play it. my computer was nearly a year old too. i fail the video thing. my sister's bf did all he could to try to get it to work, but it won't. he said that i met the requirements they just made the game ask for me than the minimum that it says. now on our other computer it installed perfectly fine, but when i created a family they were invisible and i couldn't see them at all. so i dunno if i want to start a game on that computer or not because i'm afraid it'll mess up and i won't get very far.
shareI thought it was the video card that needed to be up graded, or is the graphics card the same thing?
shareIt's the same thing.
Theoretically, the game should run on all Geforce 3 and above models (as the game requires certain shaders that these are meant to have) but the producers of the cards have yet to release drivers that actually utilise this part of the card, so they are the ones at fault.
I never had any checking thing run on my system...just ran great, have never had any problems with this game.
And it doesn't matter if your computer is 'less than a year old' or not, the graphics card may still not be sufficient. Updating your drivers may help, go to the manufacturer's website, e.g. www.nvidia.com
omg!! It wont work on my computer either, it says i fail the accel thing but thats what it says i have, and i can play the sims2 fine, i really wanted to play this, is there anything other than buying a new video card?
