GW starting problem

Hey,

I updated my computer today from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I ofcourse started with installing Guild Wars. And there's already my first problem:

The link is clicky.

Now, I'm very very sure that I installed DirectX. I did it first by the Guild Wars setup itself, then by an alternative setup from the Microsoft site (when I click at the link in the error, then by the GW page to Microsoft).

Can anybody help me?

have you installed the correct drivers for your gfx card?
have you installed the February [2010] DirectX (see link below)

Yes, I just installed that. With some help of a friend, indeed apparently my video card isn't working right. I'm downloading now software atm for it, let's hope it works.

EDIT: Okay, it turned out that it didn't work. I got the driver software from the NVIDIA site, I got a video card called:

NVIDIA® GeForce® 8400M GT GPU

So I downloaded the driver software from this site:

It immediately closed setup, after saying that he couldn't find hardware compatible with hardware software.

what type of gfx solution are you using?

It's in the link

I remember getting that same exact error, I believe i completley ignored it and just ran the client as administrator. If i did fix It i forget how, but i'm pretty sure I just igored the message and played regardless.

That wasn't possible for me. Everytime I press the "Ok" buttom it closes Guild Wars.

This is your fix OP. I had the exact same problem and setting GWs to run as Admin seemed to cure it.

Awesome! It indeed worked! Thank you very much
