Ok, I'm having the same exact problem as well. I know that there is something that isn"t right because I was able to play the game once before, but when I installed Apartment Life, I've had this issue and havent been able to get rid of it since. Even after trying all of this. Below is a copy of the DXDIAG... (the main page and device page)
