Hi there!
I just bought tS2, and I installed it just fine, no problems. When I go to play it, a message pops up and says (this is word for word):
 
Failed to find any Direct X 9.0c compatible grapics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have Direct X 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate.
 
I checked all of my stuff, and I do have Direct X 9.0! I can't figure out why this is happening...
 
I was looking up Direct X 9.0 on Google, and I found another message board at http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread28739-1.html with a lot of people who have the same problem. I'm officially stumped. It seems I'm not the only one with this problem... Please Help Me!!

So can anybody help me? I guess leave a post here... I really need help!
