Okay so my problem is, I am trying desperately to play sims 2, I do not have internet at home and I have just about NOTHING to do, so I bought Sims 2 and it keeps telling me that 'Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. Bottlehead Crack Amplifiers. The application will now terminate.' I have Downloaded and installed DirectX 9.0 c a few times now, and I still get this message. ( I am at my mothers with my tower, trying to fix this!) These are my specs.

I get an error saying that Sims 2 has. I would advise you to restore your windows 7. Whenever I press sims 2. It comes up saying I need a Directx 9.0c.

Same problem, have gone to much further extents. If anyone can help I would GREATLY appreciate it. Here is what I have posted in other forums (where no one has been able to figure it out) Error message: Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system!Please make sure you have a direct X9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate.

I have an AMD Radeon(TM) HD 6480g graphics adapter, a dual core processor, all my drivers are up to date and in the directX diagnostic tool, all components are ENABLED. I've scoured the internet for forums on this for weeks now and have come to no possible solutions. I have updated drivers, cleaned up registry and I've reinstalled the game, tried 3 different copies of the game. I have also tried running the game in several different compatibility modes, minimized windows and running as administrator.
