Poor performance in towns and outposts under Windows ME can occur because Windows ME does not enable Direct Memory Access (DMA) by default.

With DMA disabled, the background streaming technology employed by Guild Wars while in towns and mission outposts takes significantly more processor time.

To learn how to enable DMA for windows ME follow these steps:



How to Enable DMA for a CD-ROM

To enable DMA for a CD-ROM:

1. If you are using Windows 98, Windows Me or a version of Windows 95 that includes DMA support, by default, DMA is available but is not enabled for your CD-ROM, and you should skip to step 2. If your version of Windows 95 does not include DMA support, use either of the following methods:



- Obtain and install the most current driver for your motherboard that provides DMA support. For information about how to do this, consult the motherboard manufacturer, or view the documentation included with your motherboard or computer
- You can install any version of Windows 98 or Windows Me to obtain support for DMA



2. Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System

3. On the Device Manager tab, double-click the CDROM branch to expand it, and then double-click your CD-ROM

4. On the Settings tab, click to select the DMA check box, and then click OK

5. Restart your computer, and then test to determine if your CD-ROM is working properly by using the CD-ROM drive. If you determine that your CD-ROM does not work properly with DMA enabled, disable DMA. To do so, repeat steps 2-4, but click to clear the DMA check box.
