    It looks like you necessitate bringing up to date your DirectX 9 to the most recent version. Also, might you misplace your graphics card as it might not even have DirectX 9 on it. I am pretentious that is an Nvidea 9800GT which is DirectX9 companionable. Download the most recent drivers for DirectX 9, that be supposed to expectantly sort it. To me it sounds like W7 is not detecting his video card properly. The 9800GT is additional than proficient of running Sims 2 without breaking a sweat.

    Make certain that the video card is being detected properly by your system. To create certain it is, you comprise to go to the Device Manager, to run it, press Windows Key + R and type devmgmt.msc. Then you have to go to the Display adapters, and if the card shows up, twice hit it off it and go to the Drivers tab, and hit it off Update Driver and choose the mechanically update drivers alternative.
