Help With Graphics Drive Adapter

[apathetic blue]

I know there are a lot of posts about this but I thought I'd ask again in hope that I'd get a quick answer. I'm having problems with Sims2. I have installed it and when i run DXDIAG it says I have directx 9.0c but when I run the game the message pops up saying something about Directx 9.0c adapter not being right or something along those lines. Heres my computer information:

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

The situation with Sims2 is as follows.

1 you need DirectX9.0c installed on your computer.

2 you need a graphics card that is capable of supporting directX9.0c.

3 The driver for the graphics card must also support DirectX9.0c.

As far as I am aware you cannot run Sims2 with your current graphics card.

Check out the games system requirements.

It says right on the Sims 2 box that you need 256MB RAM
