Jaseyp7 0 Posted May 27, 2011 OK, not sure how old your post is, but I had exactly the same problem on my daughter's laptop, which had recently been upgraded to W7 Ultimate, so all I did was this: Right click on the shortcut to Sims2, choose Properties. Click on the compatability tab, make sure the "run this program in compatability mode for: is OFF Click on shortcut tab, make sure the 'target' has a speach mark at the front and end, i.e. "C:Program...blahblah" and add one space and -w after the last speach march, so will look like this "C:Prog...blahblah" -w This allows the program to run in windowed mode and stops the error of directx9.0 c happening! Hope that helps? Cheers, Jcp Hi, I have the same problem. My mum recently got me a laptop and it's a Toshiba Satellite and it's OS is Windows 7. I have DirectX 11 and for some reason the game isn't working. Can anyone help me? Thanks! Share this post Link to post
