help please
This is a discussion about help please in the Windows Games category; I am having the common problem with the Direct X 9. 0 thing with The Sims 2. I get a box that says that that it cant be supported and the program will now terminate. I have a processor of 1133 MHz, and 496 MB of RAM running on WinXP.
I am having the common problem with the Direct X 9.0 thing with The Sims 2. I get a box that says that that it cant be supported and the program will now terminate.
I have a processor of 1133 MHz, and 496 MB of RAM running on WinXP. And as of this time I have: S3 Graphics Twister HP with a memory of 16.o MB. Now I am curious...if I just download a different driver that supports Direct X 9.0, will that solve the problem (even though I dont have that type to begin with), or do I have to get a new card and then install a new driver to go with it?
Any computer people know if that will work?
The game was enough already, and I dont want to buy a new card just for that.
Do I already have to have a certain driver like Nividia, or Intel, or can I just download them?
Please get back if you have some answers. Thanks.

Your video card is not sufficient.
1. Try to run Sims with the -w switch. Example: Sims2.exe -w. If that doesn't work then buy a new video card.
2. Search the forum. Your question has been answer 500 times already.
3. Do not double post. Double posting is bad.
