I am aware there are already many posts on this subject, but I feel my problem may be a little more unique!
Until quite recently I had Windows ME on my computer then yesterday I wiped it and loaded Windows XP home edition, everything was fine until it came to reloading my daughter's beloved sims game. Now everytime we try to load it it comes up with the following warning,
"Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."
Now we've uploaded DirectX 9.0c from the Sims disc and we have a new graphics card so what's the problem?
And the really baffling thing is that before I wiped ME and loaded XP it worked fine!!
Please help a.s.a.p (I have a teenager on summer hols climbing the walls here!) Thanks very much in advance!
