Your video card stinks, barley any ram... About the onlything good about your PC from what you show is the P4 2.52.
Having like 19 programs running with low ram will kill your game, plus I take it your mother board stinks too.
Well, close off all OWNER tasks expect EXPLORER and TASKMGR then run GW.
Should work fine after that... Not great but playable.

Dang, there are no other options for me, lol?
dimirpaw
.... I just gave you some, kill all OWNER Tasks but EXPLORER and TASKMGR and run GW. Along with Firewalls and Anti-Spyware/Virus.
Have you tried these yet?
Have you tried these yet?
Meneldil
Yes, I closed them all.
dimirpaw
So it ran the same? Turn the game settings to the lowest... Res. ect... Update GeFORCE. ect..
Meneldil
whoa, i just loaded into Ashford Abbey in record time of 20 seconds. Usually it takes 2-3 minutes, sometimes more.
dimirpaw
With tasks all off? Or settings low, or both?
Meneldil
I was reading one of the stickies, and followed that information as well as yours, i only tried loading into a city once, lets hope it will continue to let me do this.
Meneldil
tasks all off now. i also raised GW priority, (task manager, right click on guild wars, then set priority higher) I then went to adapter advanced settings troubleshoot and moved the notch one below the top.
dimirpaw
Alright, just rember not to set your game settings so high when your card and PC isn't what one would call "great". However it should run playable. Load times might be still long due to Video and Computer Ram.
Meneldil
Thank you so much for the help. I've played GW like this for four months... wow do I feel FREEEE.
dimirpaw
No problem, have fun and shall slow free play time last forever! 
Meneldil

The reason why your maps load slowly is because there is not enough ram.
Invest in more ram if possible; you need it.
I recommend 512mb of ram
Your card is fine
See you around

Well load time as a lot to do with Ram, however game play slowness can be your Graphic's card. None the less buy more ram!
