Yea i was noticing GW is the only program that runs really slow on my computer even when i have all the un neccessary programs shut down and it will lag alot and i was wonderinf if there was anything i could do to help this? ( note that i have a cable / DSL modem )
The GFX problem was every now and again big white squares and stuff appear and i think it has to do with my video card anybody know a good card to buy and prices?

Thx

Dont worry to much about the graphic glitches

I got Ati X800XT platinum and i am getting artefacts all over the place.
from all the games i play, only this game is giving me those glitches.

i tried reinstalling drivers, i even traded my GPU for a new one and i still get artefacts. Because all the other games like WoW run perfect, i blame Guild Wars.

Right click on your windows background, select properties, click on settings tab, theres a line that says Display. Copy that line into here. =)

ughh, i had one of those, ok, go get yourself a new video card. I'd suggest a radeon 9550 which is pretty cheap and offers performance close to the 9600 series. But if your looking for an awesome top of the range card, then go online and check out some prices. Some pointers would be nVIDIA 6000 range and the Radeon x700-x800's and Radeon 9600-9800's.
