i can't seem to figure out whats wrong.. i have a radeon X1600 video card with the newest updates catalyst v6.6 and for some reason when i try to play GW it goes to startup and gives me the error that i need to verify directX 8 and have an updated video driver which i have both.. and im postive the computer can handle the game
pentium D chip
1GB ram
newest Asus board

if anyone can give me any ideas i really don't feel like formating my computer just for this game b/c im not having any other problems besides that

but the wierd part is i can play the game on my dell inspiron 1100 that only has an intergrated graphics card intel 82845G on it i mean game runs choppy all the time but its something any fixes on that, that would be great to?

Install Direct X 9.0c from microsoft's website.

After that, if that doesnt work, go to your shortcut, and add -dx8

Right click the desktop shortcut, then change line to look like this

Prety sure theres supposed to be a space between normal path and shortcut extension (-DX8). I dont use them much myself, so I cant say for sure.
