    There is a newer driver here plus a game compatibility list but Guild Wars is not listed either way.

    Get the Final Graphics Driver - Version PV14.17

    Just FYI: this entry:

    DirectX Installation:
    PropertyValue
    Version 6.03.01.0148

    Always appears on that scan no matter which version of DirectX you have.

    If your system can handle the latest 9.0c it is downloadable here:
