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.
