Alright, I bought the video game Sims 2 about 3 or 4 months ago. I installed it and everything was running smoothly. I eventually needed more space on my computer so I decided to remove the game from my computer.
All is well until I tried to download it today into my computer again. Then i get this message that states that I need a Directx 9.0c compatible video adapter or I need to get the Directx 9.0 upgrade whatever.
I download it. Time goes by, open up Sims 2 again. Nothing. What is going on I ask myself. So I go into programs/accessories/system tools/ system information and go into Display. Whats there? NOTHING!
Maybe my computer is just messing up, so I go into run, put in "dxdiag" and go to display. I get
Umm... whats going on? Video driver is missing?
I was then suggested to crack open my computer and see if anything may be loose.
Nope, dusty but nothings loose.
Can someone please help me? I have no idea what is going on here.
