Its your Video Card/Chip.
The "glass armor" is a common graphical error that happens when your graphics card cant render the animation.
EDIT IN: Go to your Device manager, or back to System Info and go to components and then display drivers/cards.

Or you can get a new awesome graphics card 
.
I suggest the Nvidia GT 6600 or the ATI 9600
Both of them are pretty good buys

this is gay let me guess it costs 100s of dollars my broke ass family cant afford Zzz might as well take it back
Former Ruling
What store lets you take back opened games? I should live where you live :\
BUt if you can give us the numbers for that card. You seemed to give us the name and no specs.
EDIT IN: I run GW on a $30 card. My computer itself only cost $150 lol. Those specs you gave for your computer are better than mine.

well you could convince her to stop smoking seeing as she will die from it, and then she will buy you a new video card because she is so thankfull that you saved her life. or you can wait until the cigarretes kill her and buy a new video card with the insurance money. I hate cigarretes or any other type of smoking. I have had 3 grandparents killed because of it and i dont want anyone else to go through that.
Cigarretes are bad!!!!
Sizzurp
ya well she still wouldnt get me a video card i might as well give this to my friend since i wont be playing it

so how did you get 50$ for GW?
does your character have the glassy armor when it shows your character select screen?
Like this?\/\/
if so, you probably just need to go online and update your graphics cards' driver.
I have the same problem with my 64MB integrated chipset driver....eew
I lag like the shizzz but i can still play.

Well you have 480MB of RAM, so it shouldn't be that bad...If you bought another 256MB of RAM for around $26.
Plus, I'd recommend getting a decent Graphics Card, something like a ATI Sapphire Radeon 9250 for around $38.
I know I know, I've read all your posts, you might not be able to afford it, but in 'my' opinion, I'd get the Graphics Card first, then RAM when you can.

You have 480MB of RAM, so it shouldn't be that.
I'd recommend getting a ATI Sapphire Radeon 9250 128MB from eBuyer.com for around $45, here;

ps
if you're so broke, turn gw to your advantage and it pays for itself.
you can get 50 bucks for a million gw gold on e-bay.

Well you can tell your someone with a big attitude and think gaming is for nerds, geeks, or whatever.
You'd probably be a player anyway who thinks a certain class HAS to do such and such and be a general hateful player.

I have an Nvidia GeForce 5500FX which is kind of old, but GW still runs great on it with nearly everything maxxed. However, if you have the money, shoot for at least a 6600. Possibly a 6800. If you're rich, get the bloody 7800!
I don't know about ATi's cards however, so many pardons in response to that. Also, what is S3? If it's one of those default built-in-comes-with-your-compy video card, no good. The majority of computers come with terrible video cards, with exceptions on maybe some Dell ones (though in my family, we customize ours).
Josh
If you have the bloody money, get a freaking Sapphire X1800 XT 512MB GDDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI / ViVO ! Lol...

Sizzurp (I like the name...sippin'....lol), your computer isn't really well-equipped to run games. The video hardware is just a little underpowered for it. You have several alternatives:
- Buy and install a new video card (I know you're broke)
- Play the game as it is
- Sell your account to someone and get a PS2 or something
You could probably find someone on some forums who would be willing to buy your account from you if you decide to give up on it. Good luck.
PS - Yes, I am a computer geek, but I'm not nerdy.
