I am having the same problem as another person only i have a different graphics card... it is a voodoo3 3500 3dfx
I cant seem to find a driver that is compatible with directx 9.0c... My OS is XP...
when I try play the sims 2 it comes up with a message reading:
Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in the system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer.
I have awaited the sims 2 for quite some time and am highly frustrated... please help!

3dfx has been out of business for quite some time now. I would HIGHLY suggest getting a new video card.

I personally am a big fan of ATI.

Opinion time Wow a 3500. I remember saving for one many years ago, I loved the TV on it. Shame they were never meant to work on P4 boards (something about the AGP voltages IIRC)

OP
i knew they went out of buissiness... I was just hoping that someone could help... I'm low on money and cant afford a new graphics card but my father sent me his 32MB Geforce 2 Mx... Its working... But my game keeps on crashing and rebooting and displaying a message:
Your computer has recovered from a serious error...
 
I report the error... I have downloaded a driver that it compatible with directx 9.0c... but it keeps happening...
What can I do?
