    What graphics card do you have? Sounds like it might not be DirectX 9.0c compatible...

    Click Start/Run and then type Dxdiag.exe and hit OK. Go to display and see what it says.

    Ok... What are the system specs?
    Do the same thing again but this time go to 'System' instead of 'Display'.

    Hmmm... I think the problem is the graphics card is not DirectX 9.0c compatible. Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do if that is the problem, except buy a new card that is compatible.

    Try this and see, but I don't think it will work...

    Right click on the desktop and select properties. Go to settings and change the colour quality 16 bit. Click apply and OK.

    If that doesnt work, then try this too...
    Right click on the Sims 2 game, either on the desktop or in the start menu. Go to properties and then in the target field, add a space and -w to the end of the target location. Make sure the -w goes outside the quotation marks. It should look something like this... "C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2\TSBin\Sims2.exe" -w
    Now click ok and run the game.

    *Fingers crossed*

    i would imagine u DO hae a dx9 compatible card... as my integrated card has no issues with that shit...

    make sure you have updated the drivers on the site of the manufacturer of your card

    if you dont know what type of card u have i can tell u how to find out, id open my shit up, but there is an easier way to check, it just takes a little longer

    Why is fat guys are always the ones fixing computers. Gave my pc to a self proclaimed expert and best computer tech guy in town a while ago. He tried to fix it but couldnt, he tried 3 times and couldnt. And when i rang him up to tell him it still wasnt fixed the last time he went off at me....a guy whos probably 40 or something tried to stand over me on the phone. Being 17yrs old i probably should of just let it go.....oh hell no!. I didnt let some little fat nerd intimidate me over a fuckin phone, man did he lower his voice when i went off at him. Couple of days later he tried the same thing with my dad whos bigger then me, use to box and definately doesnt take shit........the guy shut up straight away. Fuckin little fat nerds lol

    unless there is physical damage to a physical part of the pc that should make it work
