I'm having the same problem.
My Direct X Device is: SiS650_740
The main driver is the SiSGRV.dll (v 6.13.0010.2076)
The Chip Type is SiS 650 Rev 00
Can I download a driver that will make this device work for Sims 2?

Heya ppl im 14 and usually very good at I.T but after many happy hours of playing on Sims2 My GeForce graphics card decided that it wss going to tell me this: Failed to find any DirectX9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have directX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. This application will now terminate. And i have no idea what that means! Plz help me! Im determined to fix it without my dad's help ! RoXy x
