If you're saying that the game won't run then use the "Compatibility Mode". Right Click on the executable, go to Properties, then the Compatibility Tab. Select Run As in either Vista or XP mode. It should work then.

been there tried that. i was unable to get the Sims3 running on the wife's PC after i promised it would work when i upgraded her to Win7 Ultimate.

She forced me to reinstall Vista
