You can try turning up all the in-game settings. You can also try different drivers for your video card. http://www.sims2wiki.info/wiki.php?...:Graphics_Cards

I tried to turn up and down all the in game system! but it still didn't help! and I visited the wiki site but..........it didn't work!! but thank you anyway!!!

Well, it would be easy enough to use a screenshotting program as a workaround - fraps.com has a great little one that you can use for free.

Thank you! BUT I try your "fraps" thing and my pie menu disapears! whenever I take the picture!!! so can you help on that!......
