Your installer is the intel graphics controller or the one you talking on now?


Well go here I believe
www.intel.com

If I'm not mistaken, The Sims 2 requires a graphics card that does T & L and vertex shaders 2.0. My daughter owns the game (but can't find the box around anymore with the system requirements). I remember because I had to swap out her GForce 5200 FX and replace it with a 6600 GT.

Does it now? I actualy had a integrated card and played it fine

Hmm I dont know then

i went here
http://www.nodevice.com/driver/Intel740/get28882.html
but im blocked from downloading it, and im not even sure if this is what i should be downloading

i went to the intel website, and under downloads, graphics, desktop, and then which one would i choose?

or would i choose the embedded graphic drivers? i am very confused

If only your mom's computer had internet so you can just get the system requirements to it and it would be alot easier instead of randomly choosing stuff

But if you are getting a driver update for your Current graphics card do the Graphics Embedded drivers like you said and find the one that your card is

thanks, im trying it now. i'll let you know what happend

okay so the embeddled thing did not work. so i tried 2 versions under the desktop graphics. none worked... i dont know what to do

for the computer that has internet... and has nothing wrong with it... your system requiremnets thing says this...
Video Card
Recommended: 64 MB 3D accelerated video card (NVIDIA GeForce3/ATI Radeon 8500/Intel Extreme Graphics 2 or better)
You Have: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X (GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X) FAIL: Sorry, your video card does not meet this recommended requirement. Upgrading to a more powerful video card will make all your applications look better. Click the 'We Recommend' button to see some great options.

but i dunno wht it would say for the computer w/ no internet

i'll prob take it in and get a new video card and if that doesn't work. we'll see... tahnks for the help 2nite... btw.. im tired and going 2 bed night

Not to but in here but, what exactly are the errors you get while installing/starting the game, i have recently come across a couple titles that required .dll files that are Not part of the DX 9c distro., so even if you DL the distro today u may still need a .dll file that is not included. Of course if ur issue is something else, then plz disregard this post

btw the titles in question i believe were, FEAR Combat, and NFL Coach (demo) the files were d3dx9_xx.dll where xx is the most recent version these can be found @ http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/d3dx_dlls.html

hope this helps

X out.
