I'm not very technically minded, and I can't get my daughter's newly
purchased Sims2 running on Windows ME. The error message I get is something
like "Failed to find DirectX9.0c compatible graphics adapter. Apparently
I've got a ProSavage KM133 graphics card. Having looked around this site a
bit, would I be safe in assuming that the Sims 2 game won't run on this card
and that I've got to get a new one. I don't know if its relevant (apart from
to me) but I live in the UK. Help!

Hi Chip,

Your assumption is correct.

That message would appear if your card is unfortunately
not one of the cards supported by the SIMS 2 game.

For the list of graphic cards supported by SIMS 2:
