OK, i had a problem with the computer, i had to format it and lost everything. First thing i install... guild wars! First It went through and installed everything fine, then when i clicked on the game it says...
"Unable to initilize 3D output. Please verify that you have installed DirectX 8 and an updated version of the video driver."
So i thought oh ok, i just need to install directx from the cd and it will work fine. I put the disc in and out and click the direct x thing, goes through a process (doesnt ask where i want to install it nor tells me where is, still havnt found it) then says its installed and ready to go. I go to open gw agian, same error! I tried installing it again, went through same process. Same error. Downloaded directx 9.0 and installed it from a website. Same error!!!
Well, I'd have to confess that my video card is a little out of date, Guild Wars ran before as long as i had it on pretty low quality, and I never had any problems installing it the first time when i bought it(day it came out ^^).
Any idea what im doing wrong or have forgotten?
edit: I forgot to try reinstalling the program, I'm trying that now and maybe that will change it.
