Vista - Process automatically switching to Low Priority

Process automatically switching to Low Priority

I'm trying to run a game (Guild Wars) in Normal or Above Normal priority. For some reason when it starts it is at Low priority. When I change the priority in Task Manager, it only stays at Normal or Above Normal for around 30 seconds, then it switches back to Low priority.

I've tried using the Start /abovenormal command to run it at Above Normal but it'll still switch back to Low somehow. Why is this happening and how do I keep it at Normal or Above Normal?

I'm using Vista Home Premium 32 bit with a single core Turion 64.
