Seems that on the 25th both GW, & Nvidia released an update. Since, then I get past the log in screen, & character select after 15 sec into the game my screen shuts off. It goese into Power Saver mode even with GW, & other things running in the back ground.

System Specs:
Intel Duo Core 2 (2400mhz)
4 gigs of Ram
240 GB on Hard Drive
Windows Vista
7300 LE Nvidia 512 mb of Video Ram

All drivers are updated. Everything else runs fine. I even rolled backed my drivers for Nvidia, & did a System Restore to the point of 2 weeks ago, GW still shuts down my screen. Anyone found a work around, besides tearing the dam thing apart?

Did as you suggested didn`t help. Problems gone beyond Guild Wars now. I get to see the blue screen of death. Vista says it a Nvidia Graphics problem. If Dell tech support can`t help. I guess I`ll try reinstalling XP.

Start in safe mode, remove the new drivers and install the old drivers that last worked properly. Shouldn't have to reinstall the whole OS for that.

Yes, it is a driver issue, most likely a IRQL issue to be exact. A fresh cleanout of the old drivers + a reinstall will remedy the situation.

Ah, been waiting for an opportunity to ask this question.

Online wisdom has it that an apllication called Driver cleaner is required. I googled that and ended up paying for something called DriverCleaner.NET.

Would one of you in the know (I'm looking at YOU, Tarun!) tell me if I got the right thing or not? Seems to do the job, but I'm slightly worried about its authenticity.
