First off, here's my info:
Intel Celeron processor, 900MHz
126MB RAM
DirectX 9.0c
Intel 82810 graphics controller
HP Pavillion mx50 monitor
Here's my problem... Sims 2 won't run, and it gives me the error message: "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0 compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. This application will now terminate." But... isn't it already sompatible with DX 9.0c, since I have it installed? That's why I think it has to be something else.
However... when I first got Sims 2, a few months ago, it ran fine, except it was a little slow (probably because I only have 126MB of RAM) but I realized I didn't have DX 9.0c installed. So, I installed it, hoping it would make things a little better, and... that's when it came to a screeching halt, and I couldn't run Sims 2 anymore. Another note: I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling 5 or 6 times, which didn't help.
Any suggestions? PLEASE only respond if you absolutely know what you're talking about, because I've gotten a lot of misinformation from people who didn't. Thanks!
