Help! I can't install DirectX 9.0c!

k9addict

Ok, so I bought the Sims 2 and it requires DirectX 9. 0c. The installer says that DirectX 9. 0c is on the CD, but it won't download. A window pops up and tells me to download DirectX 9. 0c from Microsoft.

I've been using this search engine with great results. I really like the cluster feature. You'll see what I mean it's the box to the right of your results. Anyways just thought I'd share it with all y'all.

Opinions on STEAM

I personally hate this service, after I picked up Half Life 2 and installed it, I had to create a new user account, register my CD Key, get updates installed (thank goodness I got broadband), and I had to wait for my files to get decrypted.

Hey, This so is not cool, look every time I try to start Sims 2 a statement comes up that says I need a Directx 9. 0c compatible graphic adapter, what is that? It also says I need the newest form of drivers for my hardrive.

I think this must have been discussed by me (or some other person) before, so if it has forgive me, but I have something to get off my chest. I've just helped my dad upgrade his Quicken software to the latest version and it was a *painful* process.
