Boss Auras
For some reason I cant see any boss auras ever. It just looks like they are regular (for their creature type), except slightly bigger. I assume its because my graphics card doesnt support the "shader" things, but I was wondering if anybody knew something I could do to support shaders.
My GFX card: NEC Multisync P750 on NVidia GEForce DDR.
Or at least thats what it says for the "display" section of my desktop settings.
Any idea how I can get some coolio auras?

I also suspect video card driver or Direct X problem. My Geforce FX 5700 Ultra runs GW great / no aura glitches.
I would update to the most current official non-beta video card driver and update Microsoft Direct X to it's more current version:

Well, the original GeForce chips don't support the latest shader models, so it's possible that it's a hardware limitation. Definitely try a new driver, though. Sometimes they add alternative rendering methods to the drivers to simulate the newer shaders on older hardware.

Question
Why can't I see the aura around a Boss?
Answer
Make sure the 'Enable post-process effects' option is checked. You can get to this option by going to Options->Advanced within the game.
Note: If you have a GeForce MX card, they do not have the ability to display this effect. Any GeForce Ti card and above should be able to display the glow.

OK! Thanks everyone! I will try all these things. From what I have read, however, it seems to be a hardware limitation though. :/
