    The sims 2.

    I know there have been alot of threads on this subject. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me?
    I tried installing the disc into my laptop.

    Which is a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile. V5535

    Operating System: Windows Vista™ Home Basic (6.0, Build 6000) (6000.vista_gdr.090302-1506)
    Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
    System Manufacturer: FUJITSU SIEMENS
    System Model: ESPRIMO Mobile V5535
    BIOS: Ver 1.00PARTTBL"
    Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 530 @ 1.73GHz, ~1.7GHz
    Memory: 444MB RAM
    Page File: 316MB used, 1125MB available
    Windows Dir: C:\Windows
    DirectX Version: DirectX 10
    DX Setup Parameters: Not found
    DxDiag Version: 6.00.6000.16386 32bit Unicode



    -The problem it says im having is about Direct x ."Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics addapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."

    To be honest. im not all that clued up about laptops so i would appreciate a straightforawrd answer, and if it is infact possible to play this game on my laptop.

    try downloading and installing Directx 9 here is the link. sometimes it needs a directx 9 file even if you have directx 10 installed.

    Download DirectX 9.0c (full package) - the latest version of Direct X

    The error is questioning your video card.

    "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics addapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will now terminate."
    What video card do you have? Do yo have vista drivers for it?
