Background Tasks

Almost certainly there are a variety of programs running on your computer, eating up resources, even if you don't know they are there. These range from programs you have open to windows processes or even spyware running without your knowledge. Often these 'background tasks' cause conflicts when trying to play The Sims 2 and eat up some of your RAM that the game needs. Even users with plenty of system resources can still experience conflicts with background tasks such as Antivirus or Crashguard programs running. Thankfully it is easy to shut down background tasks and this can be done each time you want to play without affecting your computer.
