1) Do you have a directx 9 capable graphics card?

2) Have you tried running dxdiag and see if the dx9 installation is OK?
In the start menu, select 'run' and then type dxdiag in the box that opens. At the bottom there, it should say "directx version: directx 9.0c".

If it doesn't, you probably need to download the latest directx9 from microsoft; if it does, you can use the diagnostic tools to search for any problems with your directx installation.

Guild wars is coded in directx8, irrespective of hardware capabilities, it will run in directx8.

Try the search button, there has been numerous threads about this.

Since when, have they re-written the whole code to convert it to dx9?

Geforce 4 MX is not a directx 9 card and wont allow all the features of directx 9 so will run in directx 8

Take a lookse at the game update for 23rd march on guildwars.com, Factions will be rendered in DX9, guildwars is still in DX8, and will always run in DX8, I thought I wasn't going crazy.

EDIT - well I have been officially under a rock, it does render in DX9, ignore my incesent ramblings, i'm old, thats my excuse and i'm sticking with it

OK, that solves it: the Geforce4MX cards are based on Geforce2 technology, and are not dx9 capable cards.

Geforce 4 mx doesn't even fully support dx8.
