. this is a relatively new computer (purchased in 2013), When I try to save a new family/house, I get "An error was encountered saving the house", then the game stops working altogether...and then I get a Windows error message (A problem caused this program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available).
