you may need to lower your resolution to whatever your tv's default is... what video card do you have btw?

Guildwars's resolution is probably set out-of-range for your 32" TV and just needs to be brought down a bit, though if you can't see GW not sure how thats going to happen.

Once Guild Wars is up and running, hit Alt+Enter which is the universal shortcut to switch from fullscreen to windowed mode. From there you should be able to adjust your resoulution via the F11 menu.

Do what Snoggie says and check that the rez you set in GW is one that is supported by the TV (RTFM).
