Error message "Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters..."
I just got a new laptop and TS2 won't open. I get an error message about DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters. Anyone know the fix?

I am having the exact same issue with Directx 9.0c compatibility in Windows 10. It will open in windowed mode, but I cannot get it to run in higher resolution, even using Graphics Rule Maker or directly modifying the Config files. EA Support was not very helpful about it:
"Unfortunately Sims 2 games are not discovered for latest version of Windows. Sims 2 is very old game and support for Sims 2 was closed few years ago. To be honest there is no way to play Sims 2 in full screen mode in Windows 10 as Direct X crashes. This is because Sims 2 is not compatible with the graphics designed for windows 10."
