Since this came up as a graphics driver error (or so guild wars says), I was going to put it in software, but I also suspect that it may be hardware, so I put it here in the general section.

First of all the errors take place when I load into certain maps after the loading bar goes to 100%. Rata Sum has, so far, a 100% chance of causing it. Also, there was an explorable area in the Realm of Torment that caused it.Then, yesterday, after having gone in and out of Tarnished Haven at least 5 times, when I went back in, it happened.

I took the advice that the Guild Wars website gives, which is to update the vided card driver. Here's where there a hitch. I'm running this on an Eee PC 1000H. The only thing I know about the graphics card is that it's some sort of Intel onboard. Because of this, the only thing I could do was uninstall the current driver, then go to the hardware manager and do an install from there.

Is anybody else with an Eee PC 1000H having the same problems in these areas? Also, does anybody know what the video card in this thing actually is?

I had exactly the same, Rata Sum was impossible, as were a lot of dungeons.
It's the graphics card on your motherboard that's causing it, I have an Intel myself, and I got a seperate graphics card and now everything works. The Intel one made my computer crash on random occasions as well, and then Windows would also specify the crash as a driver issue, but I think it was the hardware at fault.

I hope you can do something with this, here's to hoping you get it fixed soon!

If im not mistaken your Eee PC has an Intel GMA 950 graphics controller, Intel integrated is known for crashing in Rata Sum.
I cant seem to find the thread, It was stickied but search isn't helping me,however you need to install a program called 3D analyzer and change some parameters.
I've never had to do it myself so i dont know the details, an elder technician will be along shortly to explain!

Edit: I found it 4 threads above this...more coffee is needed

Follow the instructions posted by Moriz, linked to by Pink and recommended by yours truly.... they "should" work, but if I were you I would try to play through Rata Sum, Wehan Terraces and some other areas and then not go back there again if possible, or get a new PC. :/

I actually spotted that thread shortly after posting here, but it says something about failing to inject the dll when I press the run button...
