"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 maufacturer." This is the error.
The game had worked on this same computer before. But then the computer itself stopped working so a friend came over and fixed it so it works again now. I do not know what he did, however.
Now I try to install the Sims 2 and this error pops up. I don't know exactly what to do now, because it had worked before. I'm sure I should put some technical specs here but I don't know what I should put down.... so I'll do what I can:
