I downloaded The Sims 2and when I try to play I get an error message that says Failed to find any Directx 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a Directx compatible graphics adapter and hve installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate. I downloaded Directx 9.0c and installed it and I still get the message. Can someone please help me!

Go to Start and then RUN and type in "MSINFO32.EXE". Then press enter.

Go to "Components", then "Display"


Report what it say's for "Name" on the right-hand side
Report what it say's for "Adapter"
Report what it say's for "Adapter RAM"

It says it can't find MSINFO32.EXE". Is there anything ele I can do?

[DosFreak]

Wow.

Do you know what version of windows you have?

Windows 98?
Windows ME?
Windows 2000?
Windows XP?

You could start by checking if you do infact have a dx9 compatible graphics card...

You seriously need a new graphics card.

What are the system requirements for The Sims 2?

Are you talking about me?
i mean i had already played the sims on this computer about a year ago i have played halo as well, and halo requirements are much more higher than the sims 2.

Thanks

I'm having the same problems. Here's my information:

Name: ATI Radeon xpress 200 series

Adapter: ATI Radeon xpress 200 series (0x5954)

Adapter RAM: 128.00 MB (134,217,728 bytes)

Now, I know that the system requirements for this adapter is series 7000. Is there a way that I can download an upgrade for it? Or do I have to pay money?

@luis256:
Does your video card have the latest drivers?

Have you tried using the nvidia's control panel and in-game options to reduce graphical settings? Like vsync.

[luis256]

I have the lastest drivers of 2007, and i don't know where i can reduce graphics settings.
