got this from simcity forum,
Follow these steps:
1) Install Sim City 4. When the game starts on completion, exit.
2) (Optional) Install Sim City 4 Rush Hour. When the game starts on
completion, again exit.
3) Install the Sim City 4 Rush Hour Update from this URL:
http://simcity.ea.com/update/index_update.php
4) You may use a custom resolution by adding this to the shortcut:
"C\Program Files (x86)\Maxis\SimCity 4\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -
CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32
Adjust as needed.
5) Right click the shortcut again, and go to compatibility Check Run
As Administrator, Disable Visual Themes, Run in Compatibility Mode for
XP Service Pack 2
6) CLOSE ALL OTHER PROGRAMS NOTHING ELSE CAN BE RUNNING ON THE TASK
BAR
7) Run the program. It may drop you back to the desktop at this point,
or if it is still going hit CTRL-ALT-DEL go to TASK MANAGER then
Processes. Find the Sim City Process. Right Click the process and
select "Set Affinity..." Uncheck all but one processor, so that one
processor only can run the Sim City process.
8) Click back into the game on the taskbar. During the loading
sequence ("EA, Challenge Everything") it may continue to drop you to
the desktop... don't worry... once the game actually starts (Region
View) you'll be able to play just fine!
hope this helps,its a great game .
