I have the original dvd for the sims2, and my ep's and sp's are all downloaded from torrent that ran fine on the xp but my pc just couldn't handle the graphics and memory to play at 'my' expectations so I bought a new pc.
Torrent equals pirated or stolen. Perhaps you shouldn't make such contradictory statements.
As for the Directx issue, just install it. As far as I know there is no need to manually install anything. The last time I did a manual DirectX update, the file was self-extracting. That is, after double clicking, it extracts to a default temp folder, than after it has extracted it will install itself where it needs to go.
I haven't installed TS2 since getting Windows 7 and TS3, but I doubt it is a Windows 7 issue, as I suspect there would be a lot more complaints. TS2 ran on vista fine, might have to try an install on Windows 7, just to see if it really is a compatibility issue, or if your just doing it wrong.

I said 'usually' steals...I don't make a habit of it. lol thanks for all directx help, but I'm almost positive it has nothing to do with directx, because again like I said, after installing my original sims2, I launched the game to make sure it was compatible before taking the time to add all the ep's and sp's. The original loaded without a problem, it wasn't until I added all the other's that I recieved the error, and upon seeing it load the play game screen thru the original exe for mansion and gardens without an error brings me back to believing its my no cd crack thats junk.
Happythoughts:
O my sweet Mary Yaguchi! :o I beg all of you my forgiveness lmao, morriganrant you were right I placed the crack in the wrong spot inside my mansion and gardens, I should have known it was me and not the pc (one of those unwritten pc rules) it belonged in the tsdata. How utterly ignorant of me.
But I am grateful for the harassments and help, it got me thru the loneliness of not knowing where to look next. Arrg this half pint stealer will stay offline as always during my gameplay so don't judge me too harshly there. And my husband will also thank you for sparing him the expense of buying new copies.
Especially after splurging me with a new pc, did I mention its pink. lol maybe the pink is blocking my basic thought process. (can you tell I'm bursting with fruit flavors just seeing the load screen) thanks again morriganrant for making me slow down and look at what i've done already, I owe you one.
Regards Happythoughts

Don't double-post, especially when you're already treading on thin ice with the grammar, punctuation, relentless cheeriness, and TL;DR.
We all pretty much assumed the PC was pink.
