I had that once. Try adding -image to the target in the shortcut's properties. That should force a full update. Then remove the -image tag and try again.

I've not had that problem but if you use the -image command as above and it still does not work you may have to re install the game after deleting then use the image command, i've had a friend do this and he said it worked after he did it.

i have a copied shortcut with the -image, for updating purposes (i always update the game that way).
this is how you do it :
copy the guild wars shortcut on your desktop
paste on your desktop
rename to (for example) Update Guild Wars
now right click the icon
go to properties
as target, put : "C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -image (make sure to include the " " ). C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe obviously is the path to your guild wars exe. Incase you installed it to another folder, use that path
