Directx is updated.
And in the case of the PSOBw working, it was from the update on the site under the full download. It was Windowed at 1280x720 with 32bit colour depth. My desktop was still at 1920x1080. It wouldn't start from the wOnline.exe so I ran the PSOBw as an administrator and the game opened up and let me log in. Once I did it would download the first patch, then I hit enter the program ends, I open it again, a second patch, it finished and the program ends. THen the third time it tries to patch the PSOBB.pat file does it and I close the program again. Open it up log in and hit start game and it downloads a patch for the PSOBB.pat. This part happens endlessly unless I use the wOnline.exe and then start game. I get a "Failed to upload patch" error and the game won't open after that.
Here's the screenshots of the process. http://imgur.com/a/q3OG9
