Yep "F" is your DVD drive . Since the game is installed you can remove the DVD you don`t need it since updating to the 1.5 patch and removing the Tages drivers . Delete the shortcut you made , remove the DVD . Once the DVD is removed then right click the witcher exe and select send to desktop and see if the F:\System is gone .
Minimum System Requirements Not Met Windows 8.1
I have been getting the same error for a few months now and have almost given up on this game entirely. I downloaded this through steam on my HP DV6 AMD A8 laptop and it played fine. I built a desktop with the following specs.
ASUS MOBO M97A5 R2.0
AMD FX-8350 8 core processor
16GB Patriot Venom Xtreme Memory
originally I had a single XFX R7260x GPU and this game worked perfectly. Some of my newer games needed more power so I installed a second XFX R7260x and the Witcher started giving me the Minimum System Requirements Not Met. I tested this system with the original single card configuration and the error remained. The just in a the past week removed the R7 cards and replaced them with an MSi R9 280x GPU.
Like I said I had given up on The Witcher EE until recently I saw a special on the Witcher 2 on steam. I refuse to purchase the second one or the third one when it releases as I dont like skipping ahead in a series without playing the original.
I have tried the prefix that stops it from checking min reqs but in all honesty I feel like it is a real let down to purchase a copy of a game and have to suffer a play through that provides far less graphical detail than I need to. My system specs are beyond the requirements that are needed to keep this game looking its best. Please let me know if there is any other way to play this game the way it was meant to be played and seen or let me know if I just need to trash it and forget about any of the sequels. Thanks

Hey Tommy,
I seem to be having the same problem with my Witcher 1 game not being able to play on Windows 8.
I bought my copy off of GOG.com
My system specs are:
OS - Windows 8.1
RAM - 16GB
Processor - AMD FX 8350
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285
Whenever I try to start the game a system error occurs:
The program can't start because d3dx9_35.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
Well I've tried reinstalling it, but I get the same error. could you help me out?
Thanks

I just got it to work. I found the answer on the GOG.com forums.
Much thanks goes to cjrgreen
The problem is with DirectX, if you go to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=8109
and download it there it should fix the problem.
Thanks guys.

"Have you updated to the 1.5 patch and removed the Tages drivers ?"
2 questions, I think. I recently upgraded to Win8, and just tried to install and play Witcher1 also, and it got to the point for the Tages Driver, and would go no further, even clicking for it to run as Admin. How does one go about 'removing' the driver ? After clicking for it to run as admin a little window popped up with an error code of 1275. Do I have to un-install it, then when the window pops up asking what to do, click to have it open to the files, then right click to "Run as Administrator", to install the game? My system is quite capable to run Witcher1, since I had no trouble installing Witcher2, prior to trying to install Witcher1
Thanks in advance,

It`s quite simple really to remove the Tages drivers . After updating to the 1.5 patch then go here .
http://www.tagesprotection.com/main.htm
Then click the 5.5 towards the bottom of the page then choose either the 32 bit for 32 bit systems or 64 for 64 bit systems . After downloading and running the download file it will ask if you want to uninstall the tages drivers click yes and you are done . Now try running the game .
Ok, got it. Thanks, got it to run. I DO NOT like Win8. lol
Thank you for the help.
Thank you for the help.
