Default video driver UPDATE

I cant log on to GW because it says Cant initialize 3-d output please make sure u have direct x 8, wich i do. And an updated Video driver..I did a full system restore and before that it worked fine so it must be the video driver.

I have an ATI Graphics card. Anyone mind helping me on how to update?.,..

My question is this: Which ATI Graphics Card do you have?

If it is not at least a Radeon 8500, you will need to upgrade your video card before you can play. If you have an ATI Rage or ATI 3D, it is not pwoerful enough to run this game.

If it s a Radeon 8500 or above, make sure taht you have installed the Radeon Catalyist drivers. You can get them at support.ati.com.

Radeon 8500 to 9250 the *LAST* driver you have is the Catalyst 6.5

Radeon 95xx to the new x1xxx line can use the greatest and latest Catalyst 6.9
