Default Cant Run Guildwars PRoblem

Well im trying to run Guildwars on another comp and its installed and all. Ive put in Direct X 8 and latest driver updates alrdy beforehand and I try starting guildwars and it says this....

"Unable to initialize 3D output. Please verify that you have installed Direct x8 and a updated video driver"

Anyone know why it would be saying this.

Ive done everything required to play and my comp over the Requirements for GW

Would be a big help thanks.

Have you tried running directx diagnostics "dxdiag.exe" to see that all is working as it should.

you can run it from the command line/search on the start button

First, you are trying to run GW with DX8 only, which makes me wonder about your GPU.

Please list your full system specs here:

Processor
RAM amount
GPU
Driver Version for GPU
Soundcard (if applicable)
Operating System (and service pack)
