Hi,

 

I sure hope this is the correct forum.If not I'm sorry and you can move it.

 

I have a problem trying to get a driver compatable with directx 9. I installed a software calles Body Shop for the sims 2 and everytime I try to install the thing it tells me "failed to enumerate any DIrectX 9 compatible graphic adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a compatible graphics [marquee]adapter[/marquee] and have installed the latest manufacturer provided driver.

From that log, it seems u need Windows to detect ur chipset properley, hence U need the latest intel chipset software drivers, they go by the name of Intel Chipset Software Utility (also sometimes Intel INF Install).
