Yeah I get the Sims 3 launcher and then it telling me to insert the Sims 3 disc.

Same thing happened when I used the one I installed on OS X.

[smiley2billion]

So when trying to launch this I get a completely blank screen, however the audio is rolling along just fine. Keyboard/mouse input seems to be working too as it will skip the intro of the game when I hit escape.

 

I've got an Nvidia 8800GS with hardware acceleration working just fine. Never seen anything like this happen before, it's almost like the game is trying to send the display to another monitor, but I've only got one.

 

Also, does anyone know a keyboard shortcut to end the currently running app, as doing a hard restart is getting old. :/

 

Nevermind that, my video card has 2 DVI ports, I switched to the other one on a hunch and now everything is fine.

When trying to run Sims 3 I get an error saying: "Unable to start game Service initialization failed (0x039e8474)".

 

I am running dual 2600xt cards with 4 monitors. I have seen many other people complaining about this too, so I doubt it is limited to my setup.

 

Anyone know any fixes, have any ideas?
