Of course you have to buy a new code, its for a whole new account unless of course, you can share your account with your husband's. You just can't play it at the same time this way. The game itself is decent. It is very addicting, especially if you don't mind getting into groups with random strangers. It's those group quests that counts after all. If you're playing it like a lone wolf, then it can get boring.

I really have no idea what happened. The only recent programs i installed are Hamachi and PowerDVD10 Im using Simcity 4 Deluxe The sound works before. Then it didn't work and when i tried to load a city it will crash. I reinstalled, sound still didn't work but cities will load. Odd ain't it. I doubt its my specs, as it did worked before. Windows Vista Home Edition 6.0 SP2 (Build #6002) CPU: AMD Athlon Processor LE-1640, 2.71 GHz, 512KB Video: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS (1280x1024x32bpp 75Hz) Sound: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) Memory: Used: 1066/2046MB Uptime: 22m 23s I tried compatibility, disabling programs etc. I don't have x-fi and done everything by the book (i think)

Well i have basic vista so i have DX9 I tried my video card on an older computer, with a slower processor and different RAM type. It worked great and had none of the disappearing cars, pedestrians, etc. glitch. But if i used it on my newer comp, with a slightly faster single-processor, it has the glitch. Oh and Gilley, it appears that the glitch is back even when i used your settings.

No wonder, in vista it seems that the control panel is in the program files/nvidia corporation Thanks for the help Gilley!

Funny, i have the same problem when setting it to hardware setting. At first i tried using the Disappearing buildings fix but that just creates lag. The clue must be in graphics rule.sgr, but so far i have no clue what it is. But shadow settings doesn't crash me. Maybe that has something to do with DirectX as i have the old DirectX 9. Also my CPU usually goes 100% too, that is normal with me as i experience no lag while alt+tabbing. I too am using GeForce 8800 GTS. Unfortunately I dont have nvidia control panel thing. Can you tell me more about that?
