The Sims 3 Crashes

[The FoxyTrot]

It happens every time I open it back up after it minimizes. And, my computer tends to minimize quite often (dumb things like Norton decide they want to pop up, which forces my Sims to minimize, or I'll accidentally, but not often, hit the windows button). Right now I'm reinstalling it, but I want to know if anyone knows a way to fix this just in case it still happens. It only really crashes after having been minimized, and no other time.

Are you playing full screen or windowed mode?

Full screen. A few hours after posting this, I remembered you can disable the full screen (I don't look through the options too much). *sighs* I hate the small screen of it, but it'll have to do. Thank you (:

I play in windowed mode so that I can view the interent at the same time but the game still fills my screen other than the task bar across the bottom.
Have you tried changing the game resolution in the options too?

Windowed mode isn't that bad once you get used to it. But I have it one the default setting that the game comes with, I find that making it bigger gives it an annoying stretch that I just don't like. Yes, I have, nothing really helps. I hear a lot of people have problems with the Sims 3 crashing, EA really needs to fix this. The game is awesome, but there are too many bugs.
