Unable to start game..
« on: April 23, 2011, 10:52:22 AM »
Unfortunately I am back posting on here for the second day in a row. I'll give you the full details, if this problem has arisen before on the forum sorry and please direct me to the link

Yesterday, after months of not being able to play due to a terrible computer I decided to reinstall the game. It worked for a little while but then stopped, I had made a few mistakes on the reinstall so just thought this was due to that.
So today I got back on the computer and manually un-installed it (using instructions on the forum) and then reinstalled, I did this with Sims 3, World Adventures and Ambitions. But when after finally it had all been installed and updated I tried to play it, it failed, first when I put the launcher up it says that has stopped working (and had the close and check for problem options) so I decided to try and launch the game without using the launcher (Also using instructions on here, you can see how much I use these forums!) . Well you can guess what happened, that didn't work. It went black, as if it were about to start but it didn't, I went back onto the desktop and saw the notification "Unable to start game   Service Initialisation failed (0x065d0274)

My computer has been playing up a long time and I am desperate for a new one, but at the moment we cannot afford one, if anyone knows how I can solve this please let me know. If not its okay, I haven't lost hours of game data and I have managed to go months without it already so I can wait.

Thankyou, sorry it was so long!  :)
