Hi, I recently installed The Sims 2 Bodyshop, but it didn't open and I got the following error message:
"Failed to enumerate any DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9 compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest manufacturer provided driver. The application will now terminate ..."
If I understand correctly, this pretty much means I have to buy and install a new video card (I think I only have the most basic one, as my computer was originally built as a business, not gaming computer).
According to The Sims 2 system requirements, I should have;
32 MB Direct3D capable video card with DirectX 9.0b compatible driver capable of T&L
And these two are recommended;
* ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
* NVIDIA GeForce 4 or FX series cards
Is what I've said so far correct? Which of these two cards are better? How much would it cost to buy one and have it installed? Can I install it myself?
Thanks a bunch - you guys are great!
