The above link (from the OP) is dead. Would someone please post an updated screenshot of the 3d-Analyze set-up for GW.

Thanks!

I support this message! Please provide us with a new screen dump to save our lives and grant us access to Wehhan ^_^

I wish people would stop referring to integrated video as a "card". It is not a "card" and it just confuses people to call it that. Some really low-end systems that use integrated graphics don't even have a slot to plug in a "card".

Integrated video is video functions built into the motherboard chipset. There is no card to replace, there isn't even a separate chip.
Some "on-board" graphics controllers (usually in laptops) are separate chips, which may or may-not be socketed, but there is still no "card" in the sense of a standard AGP or PCIe slot. (Although some laptops can actually have a mini-PCI slot.)

In those systems that have integrated video and an AGP/PCIe slot, you don't "replace" the integrated graphics card with another one - you simply "disable" the on-board graphics in the BIOS.
Btw, if you do install a new graphics card into one of those systems, be sure to disable the on-board graphics. While you can often run both at the same time, the on-board graphics will use up some of your main RAM.

And, for any of you planning to buy a new low-end (cheap) desktop system - get one that at least actually has PCIe slot you could use to upgrade the video later.

I'm sure even the OP has a new pc by now, consider that the thread was made in '05, same goes with the link. As for the rest, integrated graphic = crap.

That really wasn't helpful. If I had the cash, of course I'd go buy myself a new PC. That's not really the topic here, but thanks for caring =/
I'm merely trying to make the most out of what I've got, and I'm sure I'm not the only one in that situation...

If someone has/still uses the 3d analyze to run GW, please be so kind as to post a screenie with the 'right' boxes ticked.

It would be of great assistance

Thanks in advance!

Guild Wars runs just fine most of the time, however sometimes my computer just restarts for no apparent reason and I get the error message "your computer has just recovered from a serious error." Another error I get is when my display driver fails. Any theories/explanations on why this happens?

Unfortunately, it sounds as if your graphics card or motherboard is heating up. You may need to throw in another fan, or if you are strapped of cash, open up the side and plonk a desktop fan next to your tower.

If you have a laptop, when does it crash? I had the same problem when I leave my laptop flat it heats up. So I have a small piece of plastic to keep the laptop propped up, thus allowing the fans to blow out the hot air. ;D DIY ftw!

Good Luck

That might be my problem. Well, one of my problems. I'm running Vista with 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD, and an Intel Integrated 945gm chipset. Every now and then, my screen goes black for 15-20 seconds. I may have to try propping it up or something.

I keep telling my wife I want a proper gaming rig, but it's not in the budget right now.

Agreed. Anyone care to post this?

Intel 915GM/GMS/910GML family chipset. Integrated graphics on a Sony Vaio, about 3 yrs old.

Problems:
1. Reboot with instantaneous BSoD and the reboot serious system error tech lines:
"BCCode:ea BCP1:FC61ADA8 BCP2:81E8C5C8 BCP3: FCF98A58
BCP4: 0000001 OSVer:5_1_2600 SP:2_0 Product: 768.1"

Notes two files in a created temp directory wer[number string]:Sysdata.xml and mini112907-05.dmp

The two files seem to have device info in them, plaintext.

2. Freezing.

These problems happen ONLY in combat, and oddly enough seem to be much more common when fighting the Charr. No problems in cities or in inventory.

Tried elevating the PC, reinstalling the VAIO drivers, and -dx8 -noshaders.

Any advice?

Ignore this guide. I am going to to close it up, as it is way outdated, and is back from 2005. We are in the process of some significant changes to the tech forum. For the time being, just ask questions individually, because almost all the guides are so defunct, they might actually damage your PC or cause more confusion.
