Graphic Cards
When running The Sims 2 and other games that use the latest version of DirectX, you need to ensure your computer is running the very latest drivers for your video card. Often people think they have the latest drivers available, but on looking again, find they haven't. You can update your graphics drivers for free by downloading them from the website of your graphics card manufacturer. To find out which ones you will need, you can run the dxdirect diagnostic program.
