First off, hello, I'm Carly *waves*
Second, my brain is about to explode from information overload.
I installed The Sims 2 and the Sims 2 Nightlife. But, when I tried to run them, I got the message:
I tried to install said graphics adapter, but I had to put it on a USB drive, and take to my computer upstairs where I installed The Sims 2, which happens to have no internet. But, to no avail.
I Googled and noticed a LOT of people were having this issue, but then all the posts about how to fix the problem were to technical, and I had no idea what they were saying.
Can someone please explain to me, in simple terms, how to fix this problem?
But, I also wrote down every single bit of info from the computer that I thought would be useful down on a sticky-note, so you can kinda get the general idea of the system I'm dealing with [And please keep in mid I have no idea what any of this info means...] :

I also have no idea what Graphics Card I have, nor do I have any idea how to find out.
How do i find this oput, because I'm pretty sure that might be helpful info in order to solve this problem ^^;
