I have just got a BRAND new computer (Dell XPS 630), and am attempting to install WoW from Scratch. I purchased a new set of disks, and when installing at 98% get the following error: The file "C:Program FilesWorld of Warcraft.tempData.tempenUS.temp" could not be renamed to "C:Program FilesWorld of Warcraft.tempData.tempenUS". (ConflictManager::ResolveConflicts/1)
I have turned off UAC, and I am running from an administrator account. I have deleted all files in my temp accoount. I have also (following the intructions on the WoW support site) copied the contents of the CD to a new folder on the desktop. I have also tried installing it into C:World of Warcraft (IE not into Program Files) - as advised on another forum. Nothing works.
after installing my Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne on my Windows 7 beta, 7000build. I can run War3.exe after the installation. When I restarted my computer, the problem starts here. very time I open my War3, It minimizes on my task bar. When I click it again, it maximizes for around 1 second then minimizes again. I know its running fine because I can hear the sounds of the program and I can see the menu for 1 second. I search the internet for similar problem but it looks like I'm the only one having this kind of problem. I tried Updating my Video Card driver, I think I have the latest. Reinstalling my War3, it works. But, whenever I restart my computer, the problem appear again. I need to shutdown my computer.
My 14 yr old son is wanting me to allow him play this game, there is a Free 15 day trial (as he put it). My concern is not that much on the Sex or Gore fact but I do have my hesitations about him being totally consume by it since two years ago he had that problem with RuneScape or something like that. I guess what I would like to know is just how adult is this game? Are there predators like in the chat rooms and what have you? or is this just a clean open world fun game. Sorry if I seem like an idiotic parent, my kids pretty much run their computer unatended but I can't help to feel worry on the "Getting Consumed" part of it.
when i start the game, everything goes fine for few minutes. the suddenly when i really start "playing" warcraft the computer just crashes and stays with the frozen screen on. what should i do next?
Problems with Warcraft 3. Reign of Chaos runs fine except battle.net. After getting patch from battle net I get the following: "Blizzard BNUpdate v2.129 compiled on Nov 2 2006.

the problem is, after installing my Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne on my Windows 7 beta, 7000build. I can run War3.exe after the installation. When I restarted my computer, the problem starts here. Every time I open my War3, It minimizes on my task bar. When I click it again, it maximizes for around 1 second then minimizes again. I know its running fine because I can hear the sounds of the program and I can see the menu for 1 second.
I'm wondering if this is fixable. I search the internet for similar problem but it looks like I'm the only one having this kind of problem. I tried Updating my Video Card driver, I think I have the latest.
Heres the problem: When I open wow through both *Launcher* and *Play*, my WoW gets stuck at connecting while I'm logging in. BUT. When I Run the program as administrator, all works fine, BUT. My guild I am in is a hard-core raiding guild and as the Main tank, I need to talk. When I run as administrator, I can play all honkey-torey, but when I press my PTT button, nothing happens!
The main question here is: How do I make is so I can log in properly, without having to run *Play* as a Admin?

I'm sure this has been reported by several individuals before me, but ever since I have been playing World of Warcraft wirelessly on my new notebook with Vista I have been hiting these lag spikes every couple minutes, that can range anywhere from a second to 15. During this time cpu and disk spike to 100% usuage. I have tried updating my drivers for my NIC and my graphic card, as well as disabling a roam feature on the vista wireless network, but these have not halted the dreaded spikes. Also, I have tried playing while directly connected to the internet but even then the spikes occur. Does anyone know what is causing these spikes and what can be done to solve them?
I have a problem with installing Warcraft III Reign of Chaos on my Windows 7 32-bit computer. Whenever I insert my CD Rom into my hardrive, I go to the WCIII installation window and enter my CD-Key information. After I'm done locating the file to put the folder in, it freezes and says "Not Responding" on the Windows topmost bar. It keeps on doing that for some reason and really gets annoying.
I recently built a decent rig. Here are the specs: Overall the thing flies in most aspects. Rendering graphics in photoshop, and most software design suites (been using eclipse for small projects lately). Where my system comes to its knees is when i try and play World of Warcraft. I get about 100fps for a random amount of time (as much as 20 minutes), and then it drops to an unplayable 3-10fps. I have updated to the latest Signed Drivers 175.16 by nvidia, I have tried the unsigned 175.75, I have updated my bios (which were causing a memory issue before), I have updated my sound drivers which i know... creative is not the best choice but its onboard.
World of Warcraft is so addictive that a psychiatrist is planning to send a team of counsellors into the game to treat players before they lose touch with the real world. It comes after a report published by Sweden's Youth Care Foundation this year found World of Warcraft was the most dangerous game on the market and "the cocaine of the computer games world". Richard Graham, a psychiatrist who treats adolescents at the Tavistock Clinic in London, believes that, just as casinos contribute to the treatment of compulsive gamblers, Blizzard, the creator of the online role playing game, should fund help for World of Warcraft addicts.
I can install CoH from my DVD no problem. The game works. When I try to patch it, the game becomes corrupt. I can get patch 1.40 to install, after that it is a no go. I am completely frustrated. I must be having a hardware conflict or a corrupt install disc. I do a selective startup with only Windows services running. Each an every time I get this error message involving this file "ww2data.sga" and this code: Error 10104. Anyone else on Vista 64 experiencing this problem? This is the first real SNAFU I have encountered with 64. Sucks, especially when it is a "Games For Windows" game. RelicNews Forums - Can't Patch beyond 1.4 in CoH w/ Vista 64
After installing the patch the singleplayer is fine but it seems multiplayer is broken. If I start a server it loads the map but locks up straight away, also looks as though it's missing textures(random black spots) It even crashes from menus if I try and change my character as its also missing textures (all black) Ive tried uninstalling, reinstalling etc. Latest Catalyst drivers, card is a 4870. Running as admin, compatability mode etc make no difference, weird as it works fine with no patch, unfortuantely all the servers require 1.42.

Is there any patch to play PES2008 in 1440x900 screen resolution available for vista x64? I downloaded one but when I try to configure settings using it, It say "your video card is low". I think this one is for x86s.
I have a new system that has been working flawlessly til this patch. vista64 home premium, and the offending device is a microsoft usb wheelmouse optical.Now when ever I reboot it says new hardware found and driver instillation failed. I downloaded and installed intellipoint 6.1 for 64bit. and device manager shows no conflict and if i just clear out of the error boxes it works fine. Just everytime I reboot it does same thing again. It in fact, it cannot even recognize the device it is trying to install drivers for which is why i think it fails the driver update on reboot. I found out the hard way by telling vista to ignore the problem and it promptly disconnected the mouse altogether. I tried restoring to a point before the patch but it did not fix the problem. One of the patches warned that it cannot be removed , so my guess is that is what is causing the problem.
"The virus came unexpectedly. I thought my defenses were good enough, but clearly I was unprepared. This virus has proved to be unusually tenacious. I can't seem to clear it out. As soon as I see progress, the bug reemerges and attacks my system. The point: Exploits happen. Merry Christmas and be glad it's not Happy New Year. Security exploits or attacks are now commonplace during the holidays. Somebody should be grateful that Microsoft got to this one early. If this is the only big security problem during the holidays, your IT organization got off easy.
Still, for many IT organizations and even consumers, today's out-of-band Internet Explorer patch is late enough to be trouble. Who wants to be distributing patches during the annual holiday party (assuming your company has one and it's no wake for those employees surviving layoffs)? For some consumers, that patch didn't come soon enough; they've been exploited already...........
Is there a patch for running 16 Bit Software on a windows vista 64 OS. The error message I am getting states: "The version of this files is not compatible wiith the version of windows you're running." My second question: How do you check your system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or X64 (64-bit) version of the program?
I recently install a game onto my computer. Installation was completed smoothly, but without fail, I get a blue screen of death in the middle of a patch download. The info is as follows.
BCCode: a BCP1: 0000000000000008 BCP2: 0000000000000002 BCP3: 0000000000000000 BCP4: FFFFF800022091CA OS Version: 6_0_6001 Service Pack: 1_0 Product: 768_1
Is there anyone out there with a blue screen dictionary who can help me resolve this irritation?

Post in reply to: Registry-Patch. should work on all Vistas ( same type of registry). Re-Boot after patching... If you have a prob with this, just to a System Restore
With my Messenger, I like to patch it with Mess patch so it gets rid of adds and annoying buttons. And I've noticed on the latest patch for messenger 8.5, even though I tell it to remove the bottom advert banner, It won't...Is anyone else having this issue?
I'm having trouble enabling AHCI under Windows Vista Business x64. I initially installed the OS with AHCI enabled in the BIOS, but I receive stop code 7B upon reboot. The only way to get the OS to boot is to disable AHCI in the BIOS. The last time I installed the OS, I was able to apply a registry patch and manually copy IaStor.sys (from the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver) into the WindowsSystem32drivers folder. This would allow me to boot and run the system with AHCI enabled, and utilize the Intel Turbo Memory flash cache module I installed. I also made sure that Msahci.sys was set to start on boot as per the instructions at
Now, for some reason, this procedure no longer works. I still receive stop code 7B upon reboot. (Note that I am not able to install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver or the Intel Turbo Memory driver until after AHCI is working. Attempting to do so results in an error message that my system "does not meet the minimum requirements".)I'm trying this on a Dell Vostro 1500 with a PM965 chipset and ICH8 I/O controller hub. This is the contents of the registry file I'm using:
I found this interesting. It seems those of us who have the .NET framework add-on installed in Firefox will have trouble with this Windows Update. It's listed on my Updates as a security update for IE8- KB974455
I downloaded it, but now can't figure out why I stay alll night long trying to find my essay i wrote yesterday, is all filled with random hexadecimals and Email says I need a critical patch in order to undelete 1300+ message that I had until yesterday, hello? And why wired LAN is defeated???? I hate wireless, it increases brain csancer risk & headaches, but wired is dead, why?
At work I got a new computer with Window Vista, this was connected to the server but it simple does not respond whenever I try to get any data or move a file from the server to the vista computer. Dell sent a new computer, furthermore many IT personnel from the place that I work had check the computer and all got to the answer that is a Vista problem. I was given a patch KB Article Number(s): 931770, which does not work, as it says that the file is corrupted. Does anyone now how to solve this problem. Does anyone know how I can return Window Vista to microsoft and get XP back.
BF2 went to blue screen of death after a couple of mins playing,so after i played around with the sound (which it wasn't) i uninstalled the Nvidia drver and replaced it with this beta one which was not a vast upgrade (163.22 to 163.44) but it worked. Brian Lara 2007 kept having the emulator prob or wot ever it was(yes i did intall the patch from codemasters) so i got the "No-DVD" patch and hey presto it worked?
