Default My GW won't load
Whenever I click the 'Play Guild Wars' option I get this:



And it just sits there on 0% forever. What should I do as I can't play Guild Wars now.

that happend to me once aswell, and it was all because the .dat file was bad. so try to remove it from the GW file and then start up GW again.
and since you have to download all the files again i'd suggest that you use the -image command.

GL and hope it helps

Happens to me whenever there is a big download. Instead of showing progress, it just sits there at 0 until it is finished.

I would try Phear me's suggestion too just in case.

Ive been getting this 95% of the times I try to log on for the past two days. I have not changed anything else on my PC and everything else works as it did/should.

Bag of balls it is.

I think I've dug myself into an even deeper hole by uninstalling it.

Have you allowed Guild Wars to access the internet via your Firewall? With some Firewalls you have to re-allow it after each update because the Gw.exe file has been altered.

I don't use a firewall and the XP one is turned off...but it has been allowed access through the firewall should 'off' actually be 'on'.

Definitely sounds internet related, give event log a check to see if anything got logged.

control panel > administrative tools > event viewer > check all three categories, and copy/paste errors here:

My is fine now. I had to call my ISP there was a problem with my setting/mac address their end. It took about 2 minutes to correct.

The only other thing I had problems with was launching hotmail from the clicky on MSN chat. That works fine also after the fix.

Odd one.
