Curse

Hello, I had uninstalled Guild Wars a while back because I decided to quit but installed it again about a month ago to pass the time. I have come across a few graphical errors and was wondering if there was anything I could do to fix them.
Here are a few screen shots:

Fire is at a standstill and sort of stands like the one in the picture, the sound of a fire roaring is still heard like normal

Resurrection shrines have strange blue orbs, maybe they replace the little sparkles that come from the shrines?

The Eye of the North background seems to be serrated into sections and the little mist/wind on the left is strange looking (For lack of a better description)

Smoke is more opaque and blocky

Some faces of NPC's (Usually females) look kind of like Gwen's right here

I was just wondering if there was any way to fix this because Guild Wars seems to be fluctuating in performance as sometimes when a map loads the screen will turn black for a few seconds and then turn into the map. I am also unable to save and load skill/armor templates. I have reinstalled to no avail, am not using tex mod, and don't believe I have done much to the Game Files.
Here are some of my Computer Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 x2 3800+
Nvidia 8500GT
Windows Vista 32 bit

Thank You for your time

your game is running in DX8 mode. if you have the -dx8 switch, remove it.

First off, thank you for your quick response but how do I go about doing that?

Edit: I figured out how to do it and it is all fixed! Thank you very much moriz!
