Please ya'll. I've downloaded Direct X 9.0, the latest Graphic driver, did the '-w' thing (which I really didn't think would work), and I've downloaded another variety of programs that should-woul've-supposedly could've fixed the error but didn't. I'm going crazy over this, please help us all. If anybody has the answer help us. MAXIS- help us. We all spent $50.00, for goodness sakes. (Which is pretty dang overpriced, even if it did work!!)
