Make sure your graphics card did not break, or get uninstalled somehow. The message seems to be pointing to the fact the Direct X 9 cannot find a usable graphics card, not that you need direct X 9.

Something like this happened with my and my old Sims. I'm not sure if it will work with yours.

Start > Run > dxdiag > display > directdraw acceleration > click enable/disable. not sure what yours is on but just click on it.

if that doesn't work, then reclick it and it'll be back.
