Which version of windows are you using?
And what videocard do you have?

(And what is your cpu, though this is mostly out of curiosity)

Windows 98 se.the cpu. its from computerpacers/driver info manufacturer ati tec-enhanced chip type mach64:ragepro memory 8 mb software version 5.30-cd5 im not real good with comps. i just use this for hw.and bt, and so on.

i know you dont want to hear this but this sounds like driver probs. maby your video driver files have been corrupted.
finding new drivers is not as hard as you seem to think.
firstly you need to find your exact video card. easyist way is go my computer> control panel> divice manager> Display
I think this is correct for win 98 (its been a while since i ran that OS). this should show your hardware.
run a google search for drivers for your video card and install. you shouldent have to pay anything for them. have a look on driverfiles.com.
i recomend that you update as many drivers as you can.

failing that you can always format your HD and start fresh

help?

The story went like this:

Before, I was able to play the Sims 2.. I upgraded my Windows XP version to Windows XP SP2. When I opened the Sims 2 it says that I have no compatible DirectX9.0c graphics adapter. I downloaded EVEREST HOME Edition.. It says I have a Display adapter - VIA/S3 Unichrome Pro and also a 3D accelerator.

The problem I think is my system cannot detect my DISPLAY DRIVER.. In dxdiag, it says I'm using the generic video driver. It says my main driver is: vga.dll.. Anyone who can help me? I think it cannot detect video driver and disabled the graphics controller. How can I enable the graphics controller?

anyone, please mail me I would greatly appreciate it! justinmejos@gmail.com

simply go to google and search for sp2 (service pack 2) and download it from a NON microsoft site ... try www.softwarepatch.com/windows/xpsp2.html . the download will take a while but your computer should read the new sp2 and recognize the 9.0c dont know if you are still having the problem as the post on here is pretty old but i hope it helps anyways or helps in the future with someone else if they have the same problem.
