When it shows the license agreement screen, it's just blank. But I tell it "I agree" anyway. Then I get a message that says something to the effect of needing DirectX 9. So I went there and downloaded it, tried the game again I've tried several times, restarted the computer thinking that may work, downloaded it from majorgeeks instead Also ran dxdiag and it shows that I have directx9.

Joined Mar 8, Messages 3. Hi, has anyone responded to you? I have the same exact problem and am frustrated. Nope, no replies, not solved. I just ordered her Sims 2 Seasons to replace it, and will hopefully be able to sell Sims Life Stories now.

Looked for help at eagames, they directed me to Microsoft who just directed me to do what I've already done. Joined Mar 17, Messages 2. I had the same problem. Here's how I solved it.

Start the installer as usual, get to the message that tells you about the DirectX problem, do not press OK. Click the "Start" button, then click "Run", type "regedit" without quotes.

Find the key titled "DirectX Installed". Change it's value from 0 to 1. Press Ctrl-Alt-Tab and close the Autorun. Now start the installation again. You'll skip the DirectX check this time. Hope that helps! I tried your suggestion several times, but the registry kept going back to value 0 so still got the error message.

I really appreciate your suggestion though. It would have been awesome to get this to finally work. Hmm, strange. It worked for me - are you sure you didn't press the OK button in the end? Run this patch then run the Life Stories installation. Hope that works! Cancel X. New Topic Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 of 6 Next Last.
