Warcraft 3 & DirectX 10 don't get along together very well

works fine here, Since Warcraft 3 uses DirectX 9 it won't even bother with
DirectX 10 libs, so how can DirectX 10 be the problem?

When in doubt:
Update all drivers
Update DirectX files with DXWEBSETUP.EXE

I second you. I could install and play it in my 64-bit Vi$ta
Ultimate.... ...

You need to disable Desktop Composition to view the movie properly.
You could use registry hack to set the screen size.

1) Go to Start Run type regedit
2) Navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent
Version\Explorer\Shell Folders"

if there is no string in there called "Programs" put that in with the
value:

C:\\Users\\%USERNAME%\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft \\Windows\\Start
Menu\\Programs

and you can get the installation to work, game works fine too.


Sir, you are kickass to the extreme. That worked for me
Only problem for me was that it couldn't make a desktop icon. But you
can just make one yourself anyways.. Thanks man!
