I moved my desk around and unpluged some stuff, thinking I could remember where every thing goes. I thought I had it right because when I cut my computer back on it was fine. Earlier today I bought and installed Sims2 Open For business now it wont run and an icon pops up and says that my computer does'nt read my directx 9.0c because it is not pluged up. I looked and I DO have everything pluged up I just dont know if its right.

Please help,

What is your DirectX version listed here:

Start/Run/ dxdiag

If you need to redownload it it is here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

ok so do I download it cause I dont know how.

ok I did download it but the icon is still coming up saying "Failed to find any directx 9.0c compatible graphics adapter in this system! Please make sure you have a directx9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer." So now what do I do?

What is your DirectX version listed here:

Start/Run/ dxdiag

Also what is listed there under: Display | Device

Directx 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904

ok I wrote last night about me not being able to play the sims2 expansion pack. So today I took it off my computer and reinstalled it. It still wont work.

Ok so this is what I know:
Processor- intel(R) Pentium (R) 4cpu 3.00GHz (2cpus)
Memory- 256MB RAM
Directx Version- 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

I hope this helps

In start/run dxdiag open the tab that says Display. What is the Device listed?

You can also check the Device Manager: Start/Run/ devmgmt.msc and click the (+) next to Display adapters. What is listed there?
