DirectX 9 Issues

Before I start digging around for answers, I thought I'd throw this out there to anyone who may have already dealt with this problem. I finished installing my Sims 2 basegame and all the EPs and SPs, and when I tried to run it, I received this message:


Has this happened to anyone else? I'm running Windows 7, and I'm assuming I'm also running something that's a more recent version of DirectX. Any thoughts? I'd appreciate any advice you can throw my way.

ETA: I'm taking a look at this page. Hopefully, it'll provide an answer. Ugh, I can be so clueless about this sort of thing.

I run Win 7 with DX10 installed and a Radeon 5670. Definitely upgrade graphics drivers (not through Windows! through the GPU manufacturer) and see if installing DX10 helps.
