It says that my graphic card isn't DirectX9.0c compatible? I have wanted this game forever and finally got it for Christmas and I can't even play it! I don't know where the graphics card is located and I don't know what I need to do to make it work. Please help me?

I already installed DirectX9.0 on there, but a window pops up when I try to play.

Right Click on Desktop and select Properties, select Settings, select Advanced, select Adapter. This is your graphic card or chip.
There is a DirectX 9 version b and version c. Download and install version c if you do not already have it.

make sure the processor is good, otherwise the game will run really slowly.. The sims 2 uses the processor more than the graphics card... The graphics really aren't all that great, so the graphics card doesn't work too hard... but since you'll probably have a bunch of people and lots of things happening in your house (in the sims 2) it'll require a lot of processing power, otherwise your game will slow down..
