I get the same problem. It takes forever to save, I can't even count how much time, it seems like the computer crashed b/c even if I press ctrl-alt-del, nothing happens, but the mouse still can move around which indicates the computer hasn't crashed. Plus, the little light that ususally lights up on the computer indicating the comp is busy doesn't light up so doesn't that mean the computer is done saving. Also I wonder if it has anything to do with the two versions (cd version vs. dvd version). I have the dvd version, does it run slower than the cd version? Plus I heard graphics card have something to do with it. I'm trying to figure out if I have to get a new graphics card or I have to go exchange for the cd version of the game. Please advise.

Sounds like more memory is called for here - both posters have symptoms experienced when a computer doesn't have enough memory.

Sadly, for Sims2, it struggles even with 512Mb despite claims on the box to the contrary.
