    Sims 2 Installation Help (Directx 9.0c problem)

    I appear to have tried all posted solutions (other than reinstalling OS) and still 9.0b is listed when run Dxdiag yet the version appears as ..-..0904 which is correct for 9.0C. Any new developments. [Edited by graham alderton on 2004-10-10 13:53:45]

    Sims 2 Installation Help (Directx 9.0c problem)

First though, if u have already installed DX9c(old version) then use the uninstall method i have included in the link above. Then reastart ure pc and it shud say uninstalled dx, not sure to which version but i dont think it matters, think i took it down to about 8. However as long as it is below 9b i guess it dusnt matter. Now install the DX9c file (modified) and it shooooooooouulllllllllld work. Keep ure fingers crossed. By the way im having to reinstall sims an im getttin a problem reinstallin cd 1 so far, it keeps stopping at 23% and not gettin further,the uninstall didnt work so i took it off manually, the install package i think it stops at is Control 1 or summit?!?! can ne1 help how i can reinstall, as ive played an got my taster now for the love of god it tortures me not to be able to play again ;( Neway good luck all those who need the help, ill b on here checkin up from now on a bit more, please if ne1 can help me id appreciate it.
