Original Title: Program Programs Compatibility Application Applications - I cant play this game that I got When ever it starts an error message say's "Simpsons has to shutdown"

This could be an issue with the setup for the game which fails to launch when you try to start it.

Please provide few more information related to this issue:

1) How did you install the game? Is it using a media such as a CD/DVD?

2) Was the game successfully installed on the computer?

3) Is this issue specific to Simpsons Hit and Run game?

I would suggest you to restart the computer and then try to launch the game to check if you still receive the same error message. If yes, please make sure for the following points regarding the game:

a) Verify the game documentation makes no mention of the error you are experiencing. Many times the error and explanation to how to resolve the error are already documented.

b) Verify no patches or updates are available from the developer of the game.

c) Make sure all other programs are closed when you run the game.

If the game successfully meets all the points above, I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the game to troubleshoot the issue further.

Follow the steps to do so:

a) Press Windows and X key and select Programs and features.
b) Locate the game icon from the list and double click on the game.
c) Follow the onscreen instructions to uninstall the game.
d) Locate the folder that contains the setup file of the game and double click on the setup file.
e) Follow the onscreen instructions to install the game.
