I have tried the following
spyware removal
firewall removal
checking admin status
making sure folder isnt read only
defrag
reinstalling the game
deleting dat file
Making sure i have free space (260gig HD with 63% free space)
It just seems to do this when I installed steam for CSS and HL2 not sure how that would affect it but im just putting down all the new configs ive done

Check the path in the windows registry.... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ARENANET\GuildWars -- check the path and SRC - if these Are not correct, fix them, and try again, otherwise, delete the Registry entry totally, then try it..

If you dont have your gw installed to the default directory, do so. I've had this problem before when I had GW installed on my second HD, then it gave me that problem and I had to reinstall in the default directory.

Reinstall is the solution right now.

Also if you havent already, talk to Support. If its doing the same thing every time they put out a new build theres something else wrong.

Run RegEdit. If you don't know what that means, don't do anything. You can really mess up your machine.

Sorry, but if you have to ask how to edit the registry then it's better that you don't go there. You can quite easily make your machine un-bootable by messing around with registry key's and strings.

Make sure you install and play Gw on your computers admin account, guest accounts don't let you install new files.
