Wish me luck!
Well, I bought my new computer today. I haven't started putting it together yet--too late in my time zone--but I have a day off and the weekend coming up to work on it, so that sounds like a plan.
Or it did, until the malware scanner picked up something again. So, the new plan is to work on it tomorrow after I come home from work.
I really hope that The Sims: Complete Collection will install on Windows 7...I really don't want to lose all the time and effort I invested in creating my Sims.
On the other hand, I'll probably also install The Sims 2 onto the new computer. I have some of the games--EA started selling them in bundles, so I don't have to go searching for all the expansion and stuff packs--so I can get started.
I also have a laptop running Windows XP, so I can probably install The Sims onto that if I really have to. I just hope there's enough free memory to work with, and that the touchpad doesn't screw me up. I'll probably use an external mouse for the laptop because I think the laptop also has a virus, albeit a less harmful and just really annoying one: the cursor works fine for a little bit, then it scrolls off to a corner and keeps going there no matter how hard I try to get it going in another direction.
So here's hoping that everything works well tomorrow!
