sims2 on 9800m GT

hey im getting a really fussy sims2 error about not finding a dx9 compatable device.

Im running Driver version

7.15.11.7602

date: 19/06/2008

it was wat came installed on the sistem... what drivers should i install to get this game running.. im not confident at using laptopvideo2go atm beacuse i dont know which 2 pick/search for..

Thanks all
im trying to get appartment Life working i have all updates and previouse expansions.

 

Could you try running the game in compatibility mode for XP? Installing a driver may be unnecessary. Right-click on the executable, go to the Compatibility tab and select the appropriate settings.

 

tryed xp compatablity and desktop composition.. + did a Directx9 to august2008 upgrade... im fairly sure its the driver... or sims2 just doesnt know how to use a 9800m GT or some such..

Gurr i just spent the last hour and a half installing <15>expansion packs yes 15!!IM NOT IMPRESSED!

 

Drivers from www.laptopvideo2go.com are your best bet.

Download the latest driver for x86 Vista as well as the INF that allows you to install it on a laptop GPU here.

Extract the driver to a folder on your desktop, and copy and replace the INF in this newly extracted folder with the one you downloaded. With that done, right-click on Computer > Properties > Device Manager > Display adapter > Right-click GPU > Uninstall. Restart the computer and double click the setup executable for the new driver; follow the prompts and the driver should work.

 

i dont understand how to use the links the lay out is quite strange... im X64 bit btw not X86....

scared.

Underneath the main titles there are a number of links such as "Driver" and "INF". Those are the only two things you need.

 

still no luck with the 199.98 driver.. i think sims2 cant pick up what kind of GFX card i have or some thing....

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrr

any ideas any one... mabye a older driver i guess.. this one makes my card show up as a G92 (just the core name)... and it has some issues with HDMI and DIgital vibrance.....


whats the best Crysiswarhead / stalker clear skys driver... i may as well just use that.

 

Hi there, can you please post a dxdiag (only the part under Video) where it gives the info about your graphics card and driver ie the the part called Display Devices? Type dxdiag in the Search of Vista, save it to file and copy and paste here.

I'm sure you didn't install the driver well... (.inf file and whatnot) because I'm using the same driver, I have XP 64 bit, I have the 8800M GTX (which is identical to 9800M GT) and my Sims 2 game works perfectly...
