Pissed WHAT does this MEAN!?!?!?!

Hi! I am TRYING to install the Sims Unleashed on my computer and I have the first Sims installed correctly and it works fine. Now, when I go to install this one, it doesn't even load up and it gives me an error message that says something along the lines of
START HAS FOUND ERROR in KRNL386.exe.

I have no idea what KRNL386 is, but maybe if I knew what that was maybe I would be able to figure out why my program isn't loading.

Can anybody HELP ME!?

By the way, I'm running Windows ME.

Thanks for your time!

Do you have problems with anything else or just this game? Is Internet Explorer working correctly?

You might try looking around at The Sims-Unleashed Support Forum...quite a few posts about installation problems already there.

Was "double-buffering" mentioned anywhere in the error message? (might look like DBLBUFF.sys)

Did you install from a downloaded file? If so, try the download again, and make sure NOT to use any "download accellerators" or "download managers".

Run a spyware check, just to be sure you don't have uninvited guests on the pc. Some can cause this sort of error.
