Directx 9.0c (again)
albmont:
As I wrote in my first message, I was hoping that there were a purely Sims2 solution, like editing some game parameters to avoid this problem - because I'm aware that this is not a Windows forum.
Using Linux command lspci -vv, I think I got what is the video card...
VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology SiS661FX GUI 2D/3D Accelerator
... but I still have no idea on how to procceed from here. I don't think going to Microsoft's site and downloading DirectX 9.0c will solve, because (if I can read it correctly) it seems that DirectX 9.0c is already running (but not working properly);
OTOH Silicon Integrated Systems's site is very unhelpful too, and does not include the download of anything that looks like a DirectX 9.0c.

No, this isn't a Windows support forum, but often a problem you're having with your game is related to a problem with your computer, and many of us here are tech savvy. When you get any error message while running your game related to anything on your system aside from the game, then we need to know your computer specs to help. You still didn't give me all of what I need, and I don't know if it's a matter of you not understanding, not reading the whole post, or what. When you run dxdiag, you'll see your system information on the first tab. What I need from there is the following information:
Processor:
Memory:
Next, click the display tab. What I need is the following:
Name:
Third, click the DirectXFiles tab and tell me what it says in the bottom window. If there are no problems with the DirectX files, you should see "No problems found". Please tell me what it says there.
Please give me ALL the information needed here. Not just samples. I don't want an appetizer, I want the full meal, here. ;)

Wait a moment, are you using Windows as an operating system or are you running Linux? This is the line that has me confused: Using Linux command lspci -vv, I think I got what is the video card...
BlooM:
First update your XP version(start menu, windows update)
It will install and/or update drivers, install sp3 etc etc.

Does sound like the OP is running Linux and not Windows. And the information provided indicates that whatever they're using does not have a video card but an integrated chip. From the Gigabyte Technology site:
"Integrated Real256ETM 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator
The SiS661FX chipset provides Ultra-AGPII Technology to deliver the highest bandwidth 3.2GB/s by 2 Pixel Rendering Pipelines and 4 Texture 3D Graphic Engine. It also has advanced HW acceleration for DVD playback and shared memory size up to 64MB. "
Information about the actual operating system, the processor, RAM and more information about the graphics chip would be useful.
