I have the Sims 3 I downloaded it on and started playing then all of a sudden the screen went black and had a mini pop up on the starting page. It said Display driver stopped responding and has recovered. So I go back on sims 3 not thinking about and it does it again. Every time I play it does this within about 5 minutes. I have Windows Vista Home Premium and I do not know what a display driver is or what one I have. Please PLEASE help me with this problem!!! Thank you.
