Big Problems running Sims 2 on Vista Home Premium

The SIMS 2 (for PC) and New VISTA laptop?
My Sims 2 CD works fine on my old laptop.
I checked on systemrequirementslab.com and it said that my computer PASSED
for all of the requirements, both minimum and reccomended.
I downloaded the patch from Maxis.
The computer no longer says there are compatibility problems... HOWEVER,

I load the game, get to the neighborhood, and then click on a family - it
never loads. The music just goes and goes and goes, then I press
ctrl+alt+delete and it says that the program is not responding.

Also, when I change the game settings it sometimes freezes.

Help?

Additional Details

- I have PLENTY of room for the program on my computer.
- I have tried the compatibility option "run compatibility with Windows XP"
as suggested in a similar question
- The disc is in great shape
- I have a DELL Inspiron 1525
- I have Vista Home Premium

I have also tried "running as an administrator" - no luck. Same exact problem!
