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.

Annoying things on the forum

pmistry
Now I know some people aren't as tech savvy as some of us. But don't you guys find it odd that there are alot of users here with 1 post asking for a solution and then never showing up again?

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.

As one of the first NTC members to get Christmas (I don't know of any Kiwi's) I'd like to take this opportunity to wish all a Merry Christmas and for those who don't celebrate Christmas, a Merry Festivus.

Do you have a licence to use this computer, sir?

Curley_Boy
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.
