Finished the install, massive screen tearing upon start up

Followed all the steps, using the correct code weavers program and all that and the obligatory 20 resets of the installer. Now whenever I log on and get to what I assume is the server selection there is massive massive screen tearing to the point of not being able to navigate the menus. I set all of the registry edits correctly. FixedVShaderLimit at 275, SafeVsConsts enable, UseGLSL enabled and my VideoMemorySize is correct. My specs for my computer are as follows

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i5
Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB

Intel HD Graphics 3000:

Chipset Model: Intel HD Graphics 3000
Type: GPU
Bus: Built-In
VRAM (Total): 384 MB
Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
Device ID: 0x0126
Revision ID: 0x0009.

I can post a screenshot of the tearing if required but what it amounts to is very distorted graphics with a few readable words mixed in.

Just to make sure. You put the Registry values Under HKCU>>Software>>Wine>>Direct3D (or something very similar to this path). Right?

Otherwise I'm at a loss, you have the same system as me, the only difference is that I don't have the UseGLSL reg edit input (From my own experience UseGLSL doesn't actually FIX any graphical issues -because I don't really have any- it just improves the shader drastically, which decreases FPS).

(I'm assuming you're already running it with the -dx9single command if you've already gotten this far)

I am at a loss as to how this solved the problem, but I actually upgraded my mac to Mountain Lion and on a whim randomly opened guild wars again and it has been working with zero hiccups thus far. I have kept a solid 20-30 fps so I have no idea why that fixed it but i am glad it did!
