I have DirectX 8 and my video driver is updated.
All of the this happened after my first session of Nightfall, if that has anything to do with it.
Can't run Guild Wars anymore after Nightfall

wuts ur video card?
i have a similar prob...
i use a radeon 7500 (dx7 card)
gw ran fine (choppy...but at least it played)
but after the big update,
my game always freezes and my pc reboots
im 99% sure its my vid card...
they upped the system minimum requirements for nightfall...
the thing that sux is that i dun even have nightfall...
i cant even play prophecies or factions anymore, cus the update effects the whole game, not jus nightfall users
one last thing...u should have dx9.0c installed...not dx8
try runnin gw.exe wit -dx8 in the command line
maybe u can try -noshaders too
soo it should read:
c:\program files\guild wars\gw.exe -dx8 -noshaders

I'm using a Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
I reinstalled the drivers and DirectX 9.0c and it's still not working.

I am having a similar issue, when Guild wars starts up I start lagging bad ever since the update, and when I go into a mission it just freezes the game, and I have to restart the computer. I already tried un-installed GW and then disabling my anti virus software, installing it again and reboot the computer, and the same thing still happens and I know its not my network because I can play other on line games without a problem. Only happens with GW after the update. When it freezes I wait for it to kick me out or give me some kind of error code but nothing happens, I am just frozen and I know I have a great computer to run this game, here is my spec list.
-Pentium 4 CPU 2.93GHz
-1.00GB of RAM
-Nividia Gforce 7900 GTOC 256MB GDDR3 (not over clocked) and
core running temperature is at 32 degrees.
-113 GB of free space left on my C: drive
-Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition version 2002
-Service Pack 2
-Direct X 9.0C
-broad band test (I am on cable) after five tests the average download rate is at 5.01 MB per sec and upload at 750k.
I lowered the graphics to the lowest possible settings on everything and I have the latest driver installed for my video card so I don't know what else I can do to get it to work. Last step would be to defrag my drive but I still don't think that will solve my problem as I do it periodically. Can anyone think of why this is happening? Could it still be on my end or on GW's end? I would really like to play this game again.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times off different game discs (I have Prophecies, Factions CE and regular Factions discs 1 and 2. I've even done the defrag.
