What's your system specs? Video Card model?

Perhaps your drivers are out of date, or your card doesn't support something the game needs?

One less spammer in the world of Guild Wars!

Joking obviously. My first assumption would also have to be the graphics drivers. Check for an update for that first and run simple error checks.

Sounds like a corrupted Direct x file or a corrupt driver (aka more likely a driver that has gone nuts) so i suggest you deinstall the driver download a new version and install that one, that should fix the issue
