Since December 22 i have noticed that when the option "mute when on background" is on it doesnt work!Now when i'm looking in a web page and i wait for something on the background i hear the music or the fight or whatever is on.Can it be fixed?

You are lucky...I'm experiencing really bad problems. Ever connected a 5.1 system and activated the "surround sound" and "EAX" options? Duh....
I already got used to missing sounds during fights, but since I have a surroundsystem I'm also plagued by various looped noises depending on where I go. It's not really reproducable and it's only guildwars that causes troubles

How are you Minimizing the game?

It does the same thing for me however only when I alt-tab the game , works fine when I actually click the minimize button.

Yep, you have to actually click on the minimize button to get it to mute reliably.

I had the same thing, then my system deteriorated into constant crashes, even on the login screen.
I hope it doesn't happen to you, but just a heads up incase

Out of boredom I now formatted a partition on my secondary harddisk to do a fresh install of gw. Started the download yesterday evening before going to bed (the background download on the loiding scrren) and just aborted it.... my gw.dat is now at ~35GB.
GW sometimes really stresses me....
