Getting DirectX 9.0c Direct3D to work

b-flat
I recently purchased the Sims 2 and installed and ran the game without errors for several days. However, my old monitor burned out so I had to get a new one. With the new one, I had to update to the latest version of my video card's driver (it is nVidia), but now, my computer cannot find the Direct3D files.

I have been having issues since I built this rig in Feb. I spent 2 months in thailand right after building this system, so didn't really notice it until I got back. Anyhow, it has gotten to the point where I am no longer willing to live with it, and must figure it out.
