    Thank you so much for your answer!

    I had tried all that before but it didn't work, but then I updated my drivers and now it works 🙂

    So happy that I can play The Sims 2 again! 🙂

  • I had to install using a zip file to disable/enable user acct control, I was finally able to install it, but it won't run. It still gives me the app error, opening thru the compatibility test just makes my screen look very small with icons cramped together and stays that way. I've tried to run it thru every window with and without running as administrator

    @Sibby2332 Can you please list what you have done so far after installing the game, and how did you install it (disk, Origin, etc), so we know where to start? Which errors do you get?

    @Sibby2332 , please start a new thread so we can keep track of this problem. As it stands now this is being posted in a thread that was marked as solved. Thanks!

  • I tried the compatibility troubleshooter and each time it still will not launch the Sims2. It keeps saying the same thing: it failed to find an Directx 9.0 compatible graphic adapters but I checked 3x, my laptop has the newest version installed. Not sure what else to try! Help please?!
