I recently had a problem with my e machines desktop not switching on. It was under warranty and therefore PC world agreed to fix it. They put in a new motherboad and it seemed to be working fine.
At christmas my daughter got The Sim's 2 and when I try to install I get an error "failed to find any directx 9.0c compatible graphics adaptors in the system. Please make sure you have a directx compatible graphics adaptors and have installed the latest drivers"
I have installed DirectX and ran DXdiag and I can see that there are no drivers under display, but I dont know if I just need to download something or if something has happened when I got the new motherboard.
Incidentally, when we try to play DVD's we get a message saying "DVD Error - the tv out port of your display card is not working properly". I assume this is related to the other issue.
I would really appreciate advise on this one before I call the £1 a minute helpline!!!!"
Thanks
Louise
