Hi Michael,

If you click Start / Run and type: dxdiag
What version of DirectX does it show as installed?

I am having the same problem as you all.

I am using Windows 7 with an 8800gts by nVidia.

You can find a copy of my dxdiag here: http://www.saiori.net/DxDiag.txt.

Any thoughts would be extremely helpful. I've tried all of the following:

■Re-install both games (4 times now), from both my disks and digital download from battle.net
■Verify that I have the latest version of DX (11)
■Verify I have the newest drivers from nvidia.

Thanks again for any input you might have for me.

Jacob

Hi I am Mysteryguitarboy (LOL)

Jay or anyone that has a problem on opening warcraft 3 I have finally find the solution on our problems.

After 16 hours of re installing warcraft 3, download an system optimizer, download any program in order the game will play, even reformatting my PC.

I just found out that the answer of the problem is so easy and don't really need to do all the kinds of stuff above. It just need only a little adjustment on system.

First you open START then open RUN then type DXDIAG then Directx diagnostic tool will appear then go to display.

Below display there is Directx Features. Enable the Direct draw Acceleration.

Then TADA! you can play your warcraft now. I hope it can help your problem.
