When this error happened in earlier ver. of the Sim it was due to the Graphics API. controlled by the Redistributed files from Microsoft. I have answered this one in other posts but will do it here also. Most users had to remove the old ver. and reinstall them before they got positive results.
There are redistributed packages for 2005,2008,2010,2012and14. all need to be added/reinstalled.
