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?

Since I can't link leefish instructions and I have had this problem on older games on a Win. 10 laptop (not Sim game) here is some instructions I found to help me play an older game on Win 10 other than window mode (full screen).
These are from MS in case anyone wants to know:
1. Right Click Properties of Game Icon on desktop.
2. Under Short Cut Tab: Click Run: Then Click Maximise, Apply, OK.
This did not work for me as MS claimed it would in one of their answers. This was not a Sim game but a problem with Win 10.
I had to do the following then reset my resolution on the laptop.
Because it has an Intel graphic chip (not really for gaming but plays some) it would not play any games I installed other than in window mode.
I fixed this issue by entering settings in the Intel Graphics Properties, clicking on maximise or something or full screen or something. (Should be found in your graphic properties for the pc or laptop) Of course this made my desktop look bad but easily fixed with reseting the resolution for the pc/laptop. Then when I load the old games they are in full screen. I know this is sketchy but that is how I solved a Win 10 problem for older games after the above instructions didn't work.
