There are several connecting points with any service provider. It will depend mostly on what type of connection you have. So I'll try and put a few down here. If your using DSL: You are still connected to a phone line. This means that you could have sporadic drops in connection rates that while your still technically…

The game servers appear to still be down for maintenance. Therefore there is nothing for the launcher to talk to and it doesn't like talking to itself. So it's simply asking you to find it some friends. Best bet is to check the http://pwi.perfectworld.com/ website and see if the servers are up before trying again.

Saw the Direct X info... First off make sure once the game is running you set processor Affinity so the game only uses one of your processor cores instead of both. For more details on how to do this, try my other post here. http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=258572 Your graphics card has enough memory…

Oddly, it sounds like your keyboard has a stuck key. If your using a USB keyboard or mouse, I would also check to make sure they are both securely inserted. Believe it or not, Vista can sometimes "cancel" out stuck keys and you'd never realize that they stuck every now and then. It also could cause things to run slow, or…

The launcher display depends in part on parsing .xml files. In many ways it works like a miniature browser. Now, I'm not sure how exactly the launcher functions, but it might actually be related to internet explorer. Yea, I know this seems a bit out there. First off, you might want to make sure you have the most recent…

Make sure the game is only using one of your processors by adjusting the processor affinity. Also, some anti-virus programs do active scanning by "checking" any programs that are running. So you may need to disable this. If your not using high-speed internet like DSL or a cable modem, then your using dial-up access and…

Well, you could be dealing with an overheating problem. The game takes a fair amount of system resources and it might cause your system to overheat. The computer reboots to prevent damage to the hardware. You may need to open the case and with the power off, use a can of air and clean out some of the dust. Make sure any…

This happens on computers with multi-core cpu's. You will have to execute the game in windowed mode, then open up task manager go to processes tab, right click on elementclient.exe select affinity and un-check one of the CPU cores. I have another post around somewhere that gives more detailed instructions on how to do this.

This is a PCI-Express video card and wont work in a pci slot. That's what it means with PCI-E. Also, not all motherboards will automatically switch to use a graphics card when one is inserted. So it may have to be adjusted in the system BIOS.

It depends on the manufacturer of the system. In some cases onboard graphics cards can be bypassed. The trick is finding a decent replacement video card at a decent price. PCI graphics cards are becoming harder to find. I would honestly recommend that you start putting some money away when you can and purchasing a new…

EDIT... Didn't realize this was already mentioned in the system requirements, however, this might give basic information on how this process is accomplished. I've also had limited success with increasing the priority as well.
