Who can help me with PC game?

Question

I have just recently bought the Sims 2 and I installed it and everything. When I try to play it, all it says is that it can't find DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics installer and that I have to have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. What does this mean?? I have a Windows XP and some website told me to look up my graphics controller so mine is Intel(R) 82810E Graphics Controller. If that helps at all. I'm really bad with computers, and if anyone can help me PLEASE do.

Answer 1

You may not have to replace the entire PC, just install a DX9 compatible graphics card.

The onboard graphics controller is a bit too old to run DX9.

Answer 2

The Sims 2 requires DirectX9 to run, and your integrated video card doesn't support it. You can't upgrade it, so if you really want to play The Sims I suggest you buy a new PC.
