Architectural Designs

Sims 3 problem, please help.?

I bought it a few days ago, i downloaded it fine... the menu screens and everything works smoothly, and designing characters works reasonably smoothly... but when i start playing its REALLY slow and after about 5 minutes (sometimes less) it shuts down, no warning nothing. the first few times this happened, a thing popped up saying something about ighx not responding (no idea :S), and then that stopped popping up instead a little yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in it was in the right hand side of the task bar (with the clock). But now nothing like that happens, no error message or anything that hints there's something wrong... i don't know whats going on or how to fix it, and i really want it play! =(. I don't know what details u'd need about my laptop but here is what i can find: Hp Pavilion dv2000 (GG176PA#ABG) Windows Vista Home Premium Intel(R) Core(TM) duo CPU T2350 @ 1.86GHz 1.87 GHz Memory (RAM): 1.00GB 32-bit Operating System Display adapters: Mobile Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family

1. The back of the case has these specifications for PCs: Windows XP or Windows Vista SP1 CPU- 2.4 GHz P4 Processor for Vista 1.5 GB ram for Vista so it seems that you don't have enough space on your computer and your processor is too slow. I'm sorry to tell you that it won't work on your computer.
