Okay, this is an easy one. You may not like my answer, however. This message means that the video card in your computer is not up to par with what the sims 2 requires. You only need about a 60-100 dollar video card to play the Sims 2, but you still need to buy one. You can go to places like Best Buy, Circuit City, or websites like www.amazon.com , www.newegg.com , or www.ebay.com . I would recommend if you don't want to pay too much, purchase the nVidia GeForce 5500 OC. It's REALLY inexpensive, and the sims 2 at least looks pretty good on it. If you're rich, and you've got 500 bucks to kill, go for the nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX OC. Hope I helped! Please rate me
