Default Ok I need some more help.

Yeah I'm tryin to play GW on my computer and like it wont let me cause my video card isnt supported. Which I understand. I've downloaded a new one that supposably works with GW. I cant seem to figure out how to change the video card that my computer is using. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Usually you just run the video card driver and it will install the driver, and ask you to reboot. Make sure you have any anti-virus disabled.

What video card do you have?

So what you are saying you have a Inboard Video "card"? That means it is built on the motherboard and they are generaly not all that powerful for any high end graphics.

You need to actually purchase a Slotted Video Card and install that. What kind? I have no idea since you haven't told us any of your computer specs.

what do you mean you downloaded one? Do you mean just the new driver for it? You will have to purchase a slotted video card like Old Warrior said. If you alread have a new slotted one then you can disable the intel card either through the system bios or in the OS through the computer management console.

To get intel on board cards to work, see this thread:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=35043

I highly sugest getting a video card that's not running off of the mother board. It will run.. but not well.
