Thanks.
Would you, by any chance, happen to know how I can get the files from
directx 9.0c into the correct library location? Or where that location
would be?
Another wrinkle in this story: Before my computer crashed, my brother
installed the sims 2 on his computer, and it works fine, for the most
part. (He has the same make, model, graphics drivers, AND directx
version 10, like I have.)
Between him and I, we cannot figure out what the difference is.
