    Try running it in DirectX 8. My example uses Guild Wars. Like this:

    1. Go to your desktop icon and right click it.
    2. Select Properties.
    3. Make sure the shortcut tab is selected.
    4. Next to target u will see "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"
    5. Change that to "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -dx8

    If that doesn't work ask them for support. The Guild Wars support team works very fast. At least with me they did. I hope this helps.

    Do you have the newest version of DirectX?

    1. Try looking for all the dll files that DirectX Diagnostic report missing:
    http://www.dll-files.com/

    2. Reinstall DirectX using the setup at Microsoft official website:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx

    Hope this helps.
