Default DX9.0C driver probs ATT: GLEE

Hi Glee,
Have downloaded this driver, but not installed yet...am
concerned that it appears to be a considerably lower
version than the driver currently in use.

e.g, you recom a v1.32, but have a v4.1 in use now that
does not work.
Would appreciate your reassurance thanks
Stella

Try the generic driver v. 1.32 from SiS for that chipset:

I have copied this post from the DirectX section as no-

one
appears to be monitoring that forum...hopefully someone
here can assist?

Hi All,
I am a novice so please bear with me here...
I have win98se, and had DirectX8.0 installed. Today i
bought the Sims 2 game and installed it. During the
installation it advised I had to upgrade to

DirectX9.0c -
which was on the disc provided - which I did.
Installation complete, but game won't open. Error

message
appears stating:

"failed to find any DirectX9.0c compatible graphics
adapters in this system. please make sure you have
DirectX9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have

installed
the latest drivers provided by the manufacturer".

According to Device Manager & listed under Display
Adapter, I have an AOpen SIS6326 (GPU) driver v.4.11,

chip
type 6326 RevC5. There are no conflicts.

Does this mean I have to upgrade the sis6326 driver? If
so, to what? The SiS download webpagr does not even
mention this driver, let alone which one to upgrade it

to.

Lastly, the DX diag tool - 'display tab' mentions the
driver doesn't support Direct3D 9+, and also suggests
testing functionality of DirectDraw and Direct3D. The
Direct3D test stated that the display driver does not
support API (DDI version too low).
Would appreciate any advice as I don't know what to do.

Many thanks,
Stella
