First give us your computer specs. It is not unlikely that your computer can't handle your current graphics settings.

A better CPU would be nice. Try and crank your graphics down a bit.

640 MB RAM? That sounds rather low. I myself have 2 GB of RAM.

Try lowering your graphics settings.

Yeah I know, im getting my dads comp that has 1 gig of ram and 2 ghz

so ill be good then, but as of right now my computer is runing on my graphics card which is preety good looking lol

well the graphics arent made by the graphic card alone :P

This is a really old issue. I think it stems from a corrupted GW.dat; but regardless of what causes it, this thread has turned into a tech type discussion rather than a bug one, so I'm moving it accordingly for now.

Yes, that's a corrupt dat file. I'm not sure if there is any other way to fix it than deleting and re-downloading it, but that works definitely.

The computer specs are somewhat low, indeed, but not a problem. GW will run fine on that, with modest settings.

well, im upgrading my Ram to 1Gig and when I do that ill reinstall GW =(

If you choose to repair your installation, the problem might or might not go away. In the event that after a repair the NPCs still jump, you'll need to go into your guild wars directory and manually delete the Gw.dat file and download a new one from scratch or either use the install disc(s) or a backuo if you have one handy. BTW no need to wait till you get more RAM to reinstall, your problem isn't RAM related at all.
