DirectX 9 Issues

[strangetomato]

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.

My English is not very good but I will try to explain what I did when I had this error. I believe we checked the version of Nvidia. You can find this when you touch the desktopicon of you computer and you select something like Settings ( my computer is Dutch so I do not know how it is called in English) Somewhere you can find all of the installed applications like sound and monitorsettings. I believe we deleted the latest update of Nvidia. I do not know if this will work because it is quite a long time ago I had this problem. Success anyway!
