Running Simba on my old laptop

[Syntax]

Hey guys, I need a bit of help running Simba on my old laptop. I've decided to do this because my new computer i'd rather not have running all night long I'm not sure why i just don't like to. What i want to run it on is a laptop running vista it has:

3.0ghz dual core i3 intel core processor
4gb ddr2 ram

rest of the specs don't really matter. I'm pretty sure all these specs are good enough to run at least one instance of Simba. Although when i try to run Simba the script eventually stops working and makes Simba not respond.
Anybody got any ideas, my power options are on High performance a couple people already suggested that.

-Thanks in advance

When does the script stop working? Right away? Try running Simba in XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode, run it as Admin as well. If none of that works try booting into safe mode with networking, and run Simba in there. If it works in safe mode, then some program/service running is interfering with Simba, or maybe RS in normal mode.

Power options just make sure the graphics are good enough, might also want to check if your laptop automatically sleeps, hibernates, or goes to stand by after a certain amount of time.

I have tried running in safe mode with networking and i doubt running simba in xp will make much difference. Power options affect the system power too. If you do not believe me do this:
Navigate to Power Options (right click power icon and hit Power options)
Click on "change plan settings"
then click on "Change advanced power settings"
Scroll down to "Processor power management" and expand it
Also expand maximum processor state, now if you change your max processor state to 0% your computer will freeze :)
