Sorry I missed you last night. I'm even sorrier to tell you that you don't have a compatible graphics adapter (one that is on the Maxis list of supported graphics adapters) You should first try obtaining the latest drivers for your graphics adapter from: http://www.sis.com/download/download_step1.php That new driver is 18 months newer than the driver you are using and it might work. If it doesn't you need to consider upgrading with a proper dedicated graphics card (not possible if you're using a laptop).
