having trouble with 3D initialization for Guild Wars Client.

Whenever I start the Guild Wars client, I am prompted with a error message telling me that they were "unable to initialize 3D output. Please verify you have installed DirectX and have an updated video driver." Well I installed DirectX, but I cant figure out how to mess with the driver, since this is on Bootcamp. Any ideas?

This is on WINDOWS not Boot Camp.


You need the proper current driver for your graphic device from AMD or Nvidia (assume it isn't just embedded Intel Graphics).


Go to vendor driver download page and manually select each.


When posting a thread, the hardware like Mac model and configuration, helps us.


What you do not want is AMD auto detect program, this:

Use this: and again, not the "auto detect" option.
