Well, your video card is an onboard S3 with only 32mb of RAM... you should get a new video card.

HoodriverRaider · Jun 06, 2005, 02:38 AM // 02:38

do you think that would make it run smooth?
because all movies i try to watch come up white, along with all the guild wars stuff

Vertical_Zer0 · Jun 06, 2005, 02:40 AM // 02:40

Well, I suppose you could try updating the video drivers but honestly I doubt if S3 chips are supported in GW. Really, a new card would make your whole experience better whether or not you could get the S3 working.

HoodriverRaider · Jun 06, 2005, 02:41 AM // 02:41

where do i update those?

Vertical_Zer0 · Jun 06, 2005, 02:42 AM // 02:42

Select your video adaptor here: http://drivers.soft32.com/download/d...e-24030-3.html

Install the file that you download. If it still doesn't work, then you need to get yourself a new video card.

HoodriverRaider · Jun 06, 2005, 02:45 AM // 02:45

ok i d/l it do i just try to play it again?

Vertical_Zer0 · Jun 06, 2005, 02:46 AM // 02:46

Run the file (it should install and make you restart your computer) and try the game again.

HoodriverRaider · Jun 06, 2005, 02:52 AM // 02:52

i cant run it for some reason......

HoodriverRaider · Jun 06, 2005, 02:53 AM // 02:53

it's on my desktop and i unzipped it but i cant get it to run

Principa Discordia · Jun 06, 2005, 06:44 AM // 06:44

What Vertical_Zer0 said is correct. Your graphics processor only has 32mB RAM, I think it also shares with the system memory too. With only ~250mB memory and that card, you're going to have a lot of performance issues. Sorry to break it to you.

johnisme · Jun 06, 2005, 08:37 AM // 08:37

Buy at least 256mb more of system ram and definitely buy a new video card,get a radeon 9800 pro for $120 or geforce 6600gt(agp) for $180,it will make a world of difference.

He only has 222mb ram, and it looks like everything he tries to do is acessing page file.... 390mb of page file accesed at the moment. He needs at least 1gb of ram. (512 would be sufficient, but not future-proof for the money)
