Window Screen.
Hey, I wanted to know how I could reduce my lag. Im doing everything I can like using the lowest graphics I can and no sound... Sux but it beats NetErr=7. I need to know if the 'Window' resolution can reduce som lag.
Thx in advance.

lowering the window resolution reduces quality and makes your program run faster

If you mean running GW in 'Windowed' mode then don't unless you have an above average PC! That cause's your PC to draw both the game and your desktop at the same time! Which slows down your game
If you mean the different resolutions, then hell yes they have a big impact on your performance. Try running at 1024x768 for a good compromise, if it runs fine their then try 1152x864 as the next step. Just work your way through them until you find one that runs and plays smoothly for your system!

actually, running games in windowed mode often provides a higher frame rate than in full screen mode...

Only because running it in window means there is less pixels for the graphics card to render.

you mentioned neterr=7. are you getting network lag or low frame rate? you can run gw with "gw.exe -perf" to see the frame rate in the game. if you have a low frame try running at lower resolutions as others have suggested. you can also lower the graphics quality using the slider in the options (f11). you can also disable waiting for vertical refresh. this will improve your frame rate (but it's there for people with high frame rates to eliminate tearing).
if it's network lag then i don't have as much advice, but make sure you're not downloading stuff in the background.. like close bittorrent and kazaa and the like.

you can find out just about all the details relevant for games by running dxdiag. (click start, click run, type "dxdiag", click ok)
