This is all the information about my computer:
Computer Make/Model Compaq presario (SR1929NL)
Processor/Speed Intel ® Pentium ® 4 CPU 3.06GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory Amount 1024MB RAM
DirectX DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
Video Card Name ATI RADEON HD 2400 PRO
Video Card amount of Memory 512.0 MB
And the message that keeps popping up:
"Failed to find any directx 9.0c compatible graphics adaptors in this system. Make sure you have direct x 9.0c compatible graphics adaptor and you have installed the latest drivers provided by your manufacturer."
At first the game did worked, untill I installed The Sims 2 seasons, it started to crash and then I reinstalled it over and over again, but that didn't make any difference.
At first I had a Video Card that was called ATI RADEON Xpress 200, so we bought a new video card: ATI RADEON HD 2400 PRO. After that I installed Sims 2 again, but now it doesn't start at all and I get that message about directX 9.0c.
So, if anyone knows what to do please help me!
P.S
When I go to display in the DirectX diagnostic Tool the Test direct3D fails, the first one does work, and when I put down the acceleration of the hardware you can't do the test at all, so maybe this is the problem? I don't know how to fix it, so still... please help me
