Sims 2 DirectX 9 problems

So I've read the fact, and tried to figure this out, but I guess I just dont have the patience or just don't understand whats going on.

Trying to run sims2, apartment life. Get the "Failed to enumerate any DirectX 9 Compatible graphics adapters in this system!"

Ive tried unistalling and reinstaling my nvidia drivers and it didn't work. Heres my direct X info.

Windows 7 32 bit
Inspirion 1520
DirectX 11

Nividia Geoforce 8600M Gt
Driver Version: 8.17.12.5896
DDI Version: 10
Driver Model: WDDM 1.1

All the features are enabled, and I have no disable buttons next to them.

The notes say there are no problems found.

Any help?
