All Replies. July selmiisen , Graphics Rule Maker adds your graphics card to a specific game file so that the game will recognize your video card. Message 2 of 14 2, Views. July Thanks for the answer! Message 3 of 14 2, Views. July selmiisen , mind you I'm not an expert at doing this. To figure out the graphics card available on Windows 10 with Task Manager, use these steps: Open Start. Search for Task Manager and select the top result to open the tool. Click the Performance tab.

Click on GPU. Confirm the brand and model of the graphics card on the top-right corner. Message 4 of 14 2, Views. January HI, I'm having the same problem, and tried to follow the steps you mentioned my graphics card does appear in the dropdown list but I cannot open the game at all.

Message 6 of 14 1, Views. January - last edited January lemonteajunkie If you get the DirectX 9 error after using Graphics Rules Maker, make sure that you did not pick "Do not force" for texture memory. I've uploaded the config-log file here..

Hopefully it contains useful info for you.. But why did the game start at first..? A mystery. My operating system is Windows 7 Professional bit Thanks in advance for any help!! This post was last modified: PM by sako. I'm sorry for the double post, but I'm just trying to get this thread noticed.

I'm getting really desperate here I just want to play TS Go into your game and have a look. If not, come back here with a new config-log. First of all, thank you for trying to help me! Much appreciated I installed both of those files in both of the folders you mentioned, made sure that I followed the right folder paths and all. But I'm still getting the same Directx 9 error.

What do you have in your logs folder - can you give me a screenshot? I'll have a look and see if there's a different problem. Could you set up your compatibility on your Sims2EP9. View in thread. I had to download it a few times before the game would stop giving me that message, even though I was up to date.

Maybe try running the install for the game as Admin as well? Also, Windowed mode, I guess could help? I put my game at windowed before launching it, but still got the same error. Either way, try both 'cause honestly you never know.

October May I had this same problem and made it work by using the a program downloaded from the internet called the Graphic Rule Maker. November Hey putting it in window mode helped but the screen window is so small I never had this problem on my old laptop so this is driving me insane lol and i dont want to always have it on my tv to really enjoy it.
