    The onboard graphics lacks transform and lighting support. In that case the minimum requirements are:
    * 2.0 GHz processor
    * 256 MB RAM if Windows XP
    * At least 3.5 gigs of free hard drive space

    Your processor is way short of the minimum and your RAM is marginal. Your PC will work fine for most business applications (word processing, etc.), playing CDs and DVDs, and surfing the internet but it is not a gaming machine. You might be able to play some low demand games but Sims 2 is not one of them I think.

    That said, check the Intel website for this workaround: Click here.

    Yes, it is in the windows registry.

    1) press start, press run.
    2) type "regedit" into the run box.

    you are now browsing the registry!

    3) in the lefthand table open this directory: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\The Sims 2\ergc"

    4)in the righthand table there should now be a single entry named "(default)", the data it contains is your serial key.

    note: in regedit lefthand table shows directories, righthand shows contents.

    bonus points:
    Yes I realize I'm posting in a thread that's old as hell, but it wasn't resolved, so I thought I would help anyone who asks Google the same question that OP clearly did so many years ago. Enjoy
