hi guys, i got the game and i made my account and person but when i play him and the thing loads to 100% and a black screen comes up with a message that says
"The ialmrnt5 display driver has stopped working normally. Save you work and reboot the system to restore full display functionality. The next time you reboot the machine a dialog will be displayed giving you a chance to upload data about this failure to microsoft."

I have the minimum requirements for the game...if i have a pentium 4 prossecer(sorry about spelling) does it still work? Anyone have this problem and know how to fix it? Thanks for -!ANYTHING!- in advance.

Grrrr i dont want to have buy another game like final fantasy

What kind of video card do you have? This has nothing to do with processor because it says in the error message that your video driver stopped.

Your best bet would be to ask in the tech thread, or to post a question to the Guild Wars Support staff at www.guildwars.com

It seems as if it's your video driver, What is your ingame video resolution and refresh set at? You may try setting it to the same thing you set your desktop to. Try turning off all of the extra things (AA) and just run at low graphics settings. If that helps, just turn the graphics up one thing at a time so you can pinpoint what it is your graphics card can't handle.

Also, do you have the most recent drivers for your video card?

video cards are cheap ... you can afford it. save you beer bottles from a weekend of gaming and you can afford one lol. It wont be a 6800GT but example ... my brother runs a 128MB MSI Radeon 9250 AGP 8x ... and he plays the game absolutle fine. He also has 1 gig of ram though wwhich helps game speed. But his graphics are fine.
