I have had the same problem a lot of others had with this game freezing or shutting down (usually around "fixing the car rear-view mirror" part), and and I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, emptying all cookies/temp files, etc. Finally, I figured out that my virtual memory was too low. I went in and increased my virtual memory, and it fixed the problem. Another thing you guys might want to check is if there are any programs running on your computer that you aren't aware of. If they are programs that you don't need to be running all the time, you can shut them off, or schedule them only to run at a certain time. You can find out how to do all this stuff online. (Be super careful when you are adjusting these things. You don't want to leave your spyware shut off, or delete any important files.)
