My sims 2 PC doesn't work because i dont have a 'DirectX compatible graphics adaptor'. Can someone give me some help????
Check the System Requirements here: http://www.worldsims.org/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=456 Sounds like your Video Card is not up to snuff. What model do you have? If it's right, you will need to buy one.
You did not mention which video card model you have. But if it does not meet the requirements, the only way to "fix" that is buy a card that does.
When I right click on my desktop a dialog box pops up. Then click on Properties and then Settings. It tells me I have an nVidia GeForce 6200. See what yours says.
it says i have a "Intel(r) 82810E Graphics Controller" at the top of it. And then in the middle below it, it says, "DirectDraw 1.00". but i dont know which one?!
Most video cards are usually of the nVidia or ATI Radeon variety. Made by different manufacturers using chipsets based on one of these two. Sound like your video setup is neither. Sounds like it's probably built in, rather than a plugged in card. Games have specific requirements. The game sites usually list the supported video cards by model number. What you have stated is not mentioned on the list; as the list mentions nVidia and ATI. You will need to buy (and install) a compatible video card or the game will not run properly.
