[split] DirectX 9.0c compatible graphics

Good evening. Windows 10. Hardened Simmer here. Thank you in advance!!!! Recently gave up trying to play anything on my old old Dell laptop as she wouldn't play nice any more with Windows Update. Finally broke down and bought a new Dell Insperion to do nothing but play Sims on. I get the "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 latest drivers provided by the manufacturer. The application will not terminate." error. I have tried many of the fixes here...including the Graphics Rule Maker. I have attached the txt file, but there isn't much in it. Hope I am not screwed. BTW, TS4 plays beautifully. Again, thank you for any help.
