Help help help! Please oh please.
I bought The Sims 2 over a week ago and have had no luck, just like the rest of you.
When I do the Display thingy, here is what it says:
Device
Name: NeoMagic MagicGraph256AV driver

Notes
No problems found.
To test DirectDraw functionality, click the "Test DirectDraw" button above.
Direct3D functionality not available. You should verify that the driver is a final version from the hardware manufacturer.
Okay, I don't know what a word of that means. If anyone can translate, that'd be terrific.
I tried a few of the "solutions" and they simply didn't work. I tried reinstalling DirectX like 4 times... I installed nVidia once... I did the thing EA suggested... I need a solution... I'm out 50 bucks.
I'd appreciate ANY help that can be offered. And keep in mind... talk to me like I am 4 years old. I don't understand a bunch of jargon. lol Sorry.
