Hello =)

I am new to this site, but it has been semi-helpful in the past when Ive found it on google
ok so I am very frustrated because I just bought The Sims 2 Double Deluxe and installed it on my laptop. The problem is that it freezes all the time and I need to bring up the Task Manager to close it down.
I can make a family but it wont load them, I can sometimes access my Sim's house but most of the time it freezes before I can resume gameplay. I can start to make a house or a lot but it will freeze when I try to save it and go back to the neighbourhood. I did some research and I think it has something to do with not having the right video card, but I dont know anything about that. =/
Here is my computer info:

Computer model/make: Acer Extensa 5620
Processor/speed: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU
Memory: 3062 MB RAM
Direct X: DirectX10
Video card name: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family
Total memory: 358 MB


I hope someone can help!
