Having system error with sims 3

Hello I have been getting a system error that says: The code execution cannot proceed .DLL was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem. I read the other threads and downloaded Directx9 and it didn't work for me. I really would like some help with this game, cause I have only been able to play it one time and I really love playing TS3!

    @puzzlezaddict I downloaded DDU and I always hit safe boot and do the clean restart, but every time I boot the computer back up the same drive that I had from earlier is still installed. So if the point is to remove this drive and add another graphics card, would I hit clean and shut down instead?

    @MelaninBree  Are you taking your computer offline before running DDU?  If not, Windows will try to install a graphics driver for you.

    @MelaninBree  So you're saying that you tell DDU to remove the Intel graphics driver, and you click Clean and Restart, and when you restart (still offline), the Intel graphics driver is still present?  Are you sure you found the most recent version of DDU?  And if you try to install the new copy of the Intel driver, do you get an error about it already being installed?
