slow minimizing/maximizing/exiting etc
whenever i quit giuld wars, or minmize it, or window it etc, it takes a while for the computer to sort itself out, which is annoying when all i want to do is close a program or something. i have seen on friends computers that it goes into windowed mode and that instantly, but not on mine, does anyone know why and how to speed it up? i am running windows vista home premium.

It's probably your computer.
What are your system specs?

It's a start ^^
Is it a laptop or a desktop? Do you know what graphics card (if any) it has? Make and model number would help  Oh, open your Games folder and tell us your Performance Rating (a number between 1.0 and 5.9). It's basic, but will give us some idea.

What could be the problem is that you play the games on a different refresh rate than your desktop. Set both to max and it should be fixed.
*edit*: To do that: right mouse click your desktop, properties, settings tab, advanced, monitor tab, refresh rate as high as your monitor goes ( so don't exceed the limit ). In the games: check the graphics options. |

Sounds like an old Dell.
Low to mid-range graphics. I assume you have the same resolution in GW and Windows? (At a guess, 1280x1024?)

Sounds like me when the computer is bogging down. Try closing some programs or your computer is just not quite up to specs.
