how to put post process effects on?

a friend of me told me i didnt see drunken effects couse that enable post-process effects isnt on when i looked to turn it on i coud not,,, because the square was totaly gray



how can i fix this?

What graphics card are you using? It says you're rendering using DirectX8 and I believe you need to be using DirectX9 to utilise the Post Process Effects.

and can i download that some here for free?:P

You probably have DX9 installed already, but since your video hardware does not support its features Guild Wars is using its DX8 graphics mode instead. I think what you need is a new video card.

Post what video card you are using, and we'll be able to tell you if it only supports dx8.

In short, its a hardware limitation. Its not a matter of what software you do or do not have installed, if your video card can't render post-processing effects, the option will be disabled. I shudder to think what video hardware you must have, even my old Geforce FX5200 could do post-processing effects in Guild Wars..

I don't think Guild Wars started making heavy use of DX9 effects until Eye of the North came out. Even a DX8 card can render the post-processing in Guild Wars. The OP must be using a Geforce MX400-440 or earlier DX7 card.
