i have all my cd's now. All i need to know is my computer doesn't have a DirectX 9.0 gaphics adaptor. So i went to google and got a link to about.com and it told me what to do. Now i can't find it and i need it back to play my game. I needed to go to properties on the sims 2 icon on my desktop and type something like "nosound" or something so it would work and it did but i can't find it. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ummm I couldn't really understand what your getting at? If your not running Direct X 9.0 then you can always download it, that's not a problem. Go here: http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/directx.html From what your saying you needed to disable sound to run the game? That sounds like a problem with your soundcard or hardware acceleration. Go to Start>Run>Type in "dxdiag" without quotes: -Let it collect your system info -Then click "Save All Information" -Remember where you saved the file and then open it up. -Hit Ctrl+A to select all the text and then Ctrl+C to copy it. -Paste in a reply by pressing Ctrl+V and we'll take it from there.
