I'd like to know how to play The Sims 2 in windows mode....
I'm pretty sure it's possible, because I've seen screen shots of people playing in windows mode before. @_@
Please help. TT3TT

Oooooo! I know, I know! lol.
You have to have a shortcut on your desktop. Don't use the start menu to run your game. Right-click on the desktop shortcut icon and select properties. Click on the shortcut tab across the top. Go to the end of the text inside the Target: box and type a space followed by -w It has to be a lowercase w and there is no space between the - and w. Click Apply and then OK. When you click on the shortcut your game should now run in windowed mode.

I hope I helped.

'Failed to find any DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapters in this system! Please make sure you have a DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics adapter and have installed the later drivers provided by the manufacturer. This application will now terminate.'
