When I start the sims, it goes through loading things at the title page. Once it's finished loading it just quits for no reason.

Anyone Help?

Make sure your computer meets the required specifications.
Do you get any error messages?
Try updating Direct X
Try to reinstall it.
Try checking their website for patches to fix this.

Is it The Sims or The Sims2?

Clean out unused files from your Hard Drive, or get more RAM.

The quickest option if you are on Windows XP and use the system restore featurem, is to  clear all but the most recent restore points. To do this, go to My Computer and right click on the C:\ Icon, select properties, click the More Options tab and click Clean Up... Under the system restore heading. Depending on your settings this will free up to 12% of your hard drive space.
Good Luck.

No error messages, It is the spxecified requirements and direct x is up to date because i had the sims before and it worked but then i unistalled it.

Now I want it on again lol, but it didnt work so I just re-installed it.

The sims still crashes for no reason.

well presuming your using a legatimate version:
Update your graphic card drivers
Update windows drivers
Update DirectX!!!
yes then get updates for the sims,
umm maybe defrag your hdd, doubt that will do anything but meh it will make your comp a lil faster ! (like 0.001% faster)
Chestah

The most probable reason are your video drivers, have you updated/changed them since the time The Sims worked? What Windows are you using? Do you have any expansion pack? Check The Sims readme file for troubleshooting.

exactly! graphic drivers
for Nvidia --> www.nvidia.com
and for Ati --> www.ati.com
simple

If you update your graphics card drivers and it doesn't fix it try and download and install the graphics chipset upgrade...
