Every time I try to change my screen resolution to 1280x800 on the sims 3 it never works. It always goes back to 800x600 and makes the game blurry. My computer resolution is set to 1280x800 but that doesn't help:/ Does anyone know how I can fix this and make it stay at 1280x800?
Also, my game is really slow. It freezes every 5 seconds. Sometimes it just freezes for 5 minutes and then they move a little bit and it freezes again. My laptop is a vista and here's other info that might help

i can't play properly:[[
FOR WINDOWS VISTA
* 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
* 1.5 GB RAM
* A 128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
* Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack 1
* At least 6.1 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB of additional space for custom content and saved games
For computers using built-in graphics chipsets under Windows, the game requires at least:
* Intel Integrated Chipset, GMA 3-Series or above
* 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent
* 0.5 GB additional RAM
Means you're at least a Gig short of RAM. You are also using a un-supported chipset in that Intel 965.
Only hope is to increase system ram and keep at lowest possible resolution. In my opinion.
