Instead of using the command line, you can execute switches directly from your Guild Wars shortcut:

1. Right click on your Guild Wars shortcut and select 'Properties'.
2. In the 'Target Area' field you will see the location of your Guild Wars executable file:

"<...>\Guild Wars\Gw.exe"

3. Write the desired command line arguments after the quote marks, each beginning with a space:

"<...>\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -perf -windowed

If you don't plan on using an argument frequently, it can be easier to use the Run command for a single invocation. To do this, click the "Start" button and select "Run", and enter the same line you would use to make a shortcut: the full path of Gw.exe in quotes, followed by the arguments.

this is what ur looking for:
-image

Forces the game to load all known updates.

Important: The program terminates after the update is completed; since Guild Wars will not be able run with this parameter on, make sure to remove it after all the content has been downloaded.
There are approximately 4.5 gigabytes of data to download, so broadband is advised.
The gw.dat file is the one that is updated in this manner, and it can be transferred over to other machines after updating.
Recommended: Create an additional shortcut on your desktop to Guild Wars that is labeled "Guild Wars Updater" and has this command line switch.

-image is the command you're looking for. I recommend leaving it to run overnight.

There is no vent or any voice program built into the game. So you'll need to use whatever your guild or whatever is using.
