Default 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:

http://i50.tinypic.com/aviiqx.jpg

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?

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:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/noteboo...5.62_whql.html

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

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.

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