Hey, Iv recently just purchased The Sims 2. And have incountered a bit of a situation. Iv looked through most of the posts but still haven't found any help. I insert the sims 2 cd 1 into the drive. And it starts up as it should, i put in the serial code and thats done. But then it says 'you have Directx version 9.0 installed and the minimal requirement is version 9.0c, do you wish to install it from the cd?' so i click 'ok'. Then it comes up with 'please visit www.microsoft.com to download the latest directx' so i did so, and just at the end of installation it goes (remembering this is the web version) 'File Cabbinet cannoy be trusted' and it closes, NO FREAKING UPDATE! so i try installing a redistributable version. Says the same thing. my next option is to buy a PC cleaning software and fix any problems in the system. If there is anything else i can do, what are they? i'v been trying for 2 days straight now! please help asap! :x
