I keep receiving error message:
"An error occurred while ejecting 'CD Drive (J:) Sims3SP06'."
I can't attempt to eject unless I expand the drive in File Explorer, otherwise it shows as faded grey and unavailable as an option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! My name is Amy, and I have been getting BSOD while playing Sims 3. It has gotten to the point where I'll start up the game and be playing it for about 10-15 minutes and then I'll get BSOD. I thought that it was my graphics card, because I've had the one in my computer for about 2...

I downloaded some new houses and at first whenever I moved to one it would flicker black a couple of times then blue screen. Then I deleted them, started a new game with no custom content and played for half an hour but was blue screened again. This is the error message received:

Hello folks I'm having a puzzling problem after upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista (clean install). Certain games are now completely shutting down the computer. The games in question are Dragon Age Origins and The Sims 3. Both of these games ran with no problems in Vista but now after about 5...
I thought I would start this thread for games.
What games have you seen work, what games have issues so far?
I am successfully running Crysis, Sims 3, and an older game called Maelstrom. So far so good.;)
