It's been a while I've been playing GW on Windows Vista. It's works fine so far (graphic is fine..I use Nvidia diver for MediaCenter,it works).. Lately, there is a problem with sound. First it's okay playing, later on the sound just totally gone and I have to restart the program. Can anyone tell me it's because of the last update or it's also happening to Xp too?

Well my take would be that VISTA is in a beta state release. Anything including drivers are on a beta state release of windows. This means that there are bound to be problems and instability. Beta and Alpha release software are not intended to be of production clad. If you are having problems in VISTA it is simply becuase the drivers and software you are attempting to use were not developed for the platform version you are using.

Those problems are almost certainly to do with you using an OS that is still in Beta. I have none of those problems you mentioned and i'm using another OS that very few people here are using (XP x64). The only problem i'm having is the one every else has had for the past 3 days... lagging to the extent of the game being unplayable.

I wouldn't expect to see much help about a platform that hasn't even been released yet.

I have been running guildwars on vista just fine
ATI firegl 9000 use default driver from sup pak<---
2.2 p4m
great sound
no issue as of yet.
And buu did you reinstall drivers for your sound card. Many companies are begining to release drivers for vista and many xp drivers still work.

Windows Vista Beta 1 is availbe to select beta tester currently, Beta 2 (not out yet) will be far more open for public testing.
