Try using the -w command line parameter to run the game in a window. Right click the shortcut in your start menu and choose properties. In the Command field (where it says something similar to "C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\Sims.exe") add -w (with a space in front of it). So it could for instance become:

"C:\Program Files\Maxis\The Sims\sims.exe" -w

Also make sure your video card drivers, directX etc. are all up to date. See the installation guide for more details about that.
