I can't run euroloader..

[D^Rose]

I've gottta problem. I'm playing here 1 year and everything was ok. Now i reinstalled my windows (Local Disk C) but wc3 files were on Local Disk D and they are still there. So now when i reinstalled it i tried again to play and i cant run euroloader.. It says "Warcraft III was unable to initialize DirectX. Please ensure you have DirectX 8.1 or newer installed and that your display drivers are current. DirectX may be found on your warcraft III install CD under Options." same words like that. So that screen appears everytime when im trying to start euroloader,wc3,frozen throne.. I tried to download directx 8.1 but couldnt find it.. Someone knows what should i do?

It requires DirectX 8.1 or newer so get newer.
Dl DirectX 9.0c or if your GFX card supports 10 or 11, you can dl this version.

Are you running Windows 7?If you are do an windows update,if it still doesn't work do what Astaroth said

Yea im running win 7, well i downloaded directx and then he asks me where do i want to exctract all those files.. should i move them to local disk D/program files/wc3 ? I haven't move them anywhere yet..
Ok i'll wait first to install all updates.. Dont lock topic pls

[Astaroth]

It doesn't matter where you extract those files, you can extract them into some folder on your desktop (you won't need those files after instalation). Just run instalation, it should install DirectX into your Windows folder and it should find it itself, so all you need should be:
1) Extracting files anywhere
2) Run instalation
3) Click Next few times
4) Agree with some terms
5) Next
6) Finish
7) Maybe restart your PC

Hmm thanks man but still didn't help.. I did exactly what u told me to do, wait, ill try to install all updates.. I'll tell u does it work when i finish that

[Astaroth]

I don't know from you've downloaded DirectX but here you have it with info and instructions:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

[D^Rose]

I downloaded that too, and still not working and i installed all updates and still not working.. I have to go now ill turn my computer off so when i come maybe it will work i mean maybe it needs restart after installing directx..

[kingW3]

Can you try running this please
Also type in search in start menu dxdiag and tell what version does it says for DirectX

[mrNiceguy]

copy your whole warcraft in c:/program files folder, run eurobattle.reg file, after that try to run warcraft.

[D^Rose]

@kingw3 i downloaded that and installed again not working, always same screen.. I checked i have directx 11..i mean WTF why its not working then?!
@mrNiceguy i did that all but i dont have icon eurobattle.reg but i think i renamed it a long ago into just eurobattle, did all that what u said and not working again..
Wtf is going on...

[kingW3]

A random post i found on internet it might help though

THE ONLY REASON WHY THE ERROR MESSAGE
"..Unable to intialize DirectX..."
APPEARS IN WARCRAFT IS THAT
DIRECT3D ACCELERATION IS DISABLED
(even if your graphics card is direct3d-capable)
or IS JUST SIMPLY NOT SUPPORTED BY YOUR GRAPHICS CARD.

To know if it's disabled,
type dxdiag in the run command.
Go to Display tab.
Check DirectDraw and Direct3d acceleration.
Status of these two must be "Enabled" and is clickable.
If it's not, then your Direct3d is indeed disabled,
which prohibits warcraft from running.

SO THE QUESTION NOW IS, HOW DO YOU ENABLE DIRECT3D? Simple.
Just go to Display Properties (from the Control Panel),
then click Settings tab,
and then click Advanced button.
Look for the tab where "Hardware acceleration" is present
(in most cases, it's in the Troubleshoot tab).
Drag the indicator to Full.
Click Apply and OK.

eurobattle.reg icon should look like this

@kingw3  yea it seems mine are disabled, but when i opened that display whatever it was already full..
@mrniceguy yea i know its like that i runned it and still not working.. But just dont understand why when i played it like 2 days ago before i reinstalled my windows..

You may have DirectX 11 but does your GFX card support it?
