Problem playing The Sims 2 using Boot Camp.
I'm a keen player of The Sims 2 computer gaming system, but recently switching over to the Macintosh world around 6 months ago, I've not been able to play these games as all my versions are PC compatible.
I decided to run Boot Camp and install Windows XP on my 24" iMac, then install all of my Sims 2 games and play them on that. Boot Camp installed successfully and all of my games loaded on fine.
However, when I run the game, it displays a pop-up saying, "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectC 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem?
It would save me lots of money if I could get this working instead of going out and blowing all my cash on Mac versions of the game. Thanks in advance.
