| the one and only "wtf" topic. |

Okay, my computer just decided my drivers weren't okay to play Guild Wars.
The weird thing is; I just played for a few hours, my screen went black, I quitted Guild Wars, and suddenly I got this message:

I am not really a technical person, so if someone would be kind enough to tell me how to update my drivers, or fix this problem; I highly appreciate it.

I did that. Got the same error. My computer de-installed a driver or something, because I even get popups that my driver isn't working etc.

Odd, do as Kanna said, reinstall the drivers, it could be they got corrupted.
I'd also suggest you run a disk check overnight on your Windows partition (unless you only have one partition), or in the worst case, you got something infecting your PC at this moment, run a Virus Scan if you can.

What Videocard do you have? I can then provide a link to the proper drivers if you want.

If you still have the cd-rom(s) of your graphics card you should put that in and it should install the drivers.
you could also google for : "driver install [graphics card brand/name]"
that might work

Ok, here are the drivers:

I advice when running the setup to tick out the box with Catalyst installation, just the Video Drivers only.

Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap. If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music the add this to your signature.

I got that same message a few months ago, freaked me out as I had also just been playing GW. I turned the comp off and it was all fine afterwards, haven't had a prob since.

i had the same problem when updating ati drivers.
Computer crashed while installing and after that same error message. had to clean all registires etc of atidrivers and reinstall them again..
So that could also be a video driver corruption...?

Well since we are on topic...I also have a question.
I also get the same thing, it depends sometimes after an hour or maybe more. I can also get (besides the black screen) the classical blue screen or just a simple freeze.
The thing is, that this happens since I upgraded my RAM (I doubled the capacity)
Any tips on what I should do, everything is appreciated.

Agree with Pierced, although it didn't come up into my head immediatly, i know i've once seen it a few times before, after clocking standard DDR memory to 400Mhz, after about 10-15 minutes the game would just freeze up, even without games it had around 20 minutes before the Blue Screen of Death would pop up.
Secondary, and simplest of all, open the Casing and check for dust, i think personally an hour is a tremendous long time before any apparant RAM failure. Go look for Dust, i think it might also be a case of typical overheating, as it lasts pretty long before it finally ''breaks'', its the more obvious aswell.
Unless somehow, the Flaw in the RAM is rare and only after a while it get's used and Cakes it all up.
