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?
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?
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.
I did a clean install on my new pc and its all patched up...and used the repair utility (it says wow is okay) everytime it loads i get my character up on the screen and everything looks fine...looks like imabout to start playing and then it just freezes and locks up...i have to reboot manually the whole computer...my computer more than meets the requirements...im lost on this...im trying to update all my drivers...but my graphics card and vista are updated...(which i would think are the most important)i have a asus m3a mb....amd phenom x4 9950 black edition...8gb 800speed memory..and a sata2 hdd? i thought it was bcuz vista and being 64 bit...but now im starting to think its the memory...maybe the memory installed on my computer isnt compatible with the mb? is anyone else on here playing wow? with a vista ult 64bit?
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 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.
Ive a new inspiron 550 with vista home basic. it sucks and i hate it but one thing that sucks the most is it acts as though I have no cable connected to it when trying to get online. It is a completely random problem, but happens 1/3 times i turn on system and try to connect to net. I have 2 other systems and have friends bring over systems from all makes of windows and this is the only system which refuses to connect. I can leave it on redial and eventually it will simply work like nothing has happened or changed. Ive changed and tweaked all the internet options, security settings and firewalls more times than anyone should have too with no change to this completely random and ignored problem. When i call Dell my spit can tell me more about the problem than those asshats, It seems to be a driver problem but have redownloaded and completely removed drivers multiple times with no noticeable change. is it just vista? like all other dell products are just a cash grab and dash with no solution?
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.
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.

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.
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.
Damn PC games always have issues rising up for me. Well, I recently got World In Conflict, but singeplayer doesn't seem to work for me. Once the resources are loaded in a new game, it closes and the annoying "_________ has stopped working, windows is searching for a solution" window pops up. I tried installing the patch, but that didn't help either. I tried configuring Data Execution Prevention, and ran as administrator. The game is fairly new and it was mean to be compatible with Vista 32/64bit so I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
I have just installed a piece of software which allows me to control my home PC from just about anywhere in the world ultraVNC. Although i have successfully managed to connect to the machine via Internet Explorer in my own house using a laptop to connect to my home PC could someone explain to me how would it work if i was in another town etc... What i mean to say is how does it know the ip address as there are probably hundreds of thousands if not millions of ip address ranges that begin with 192.168.1 as these are generally used as home network addresses.

My Explorer taskbar says Hello WORLD I AM VB. How can I remove it.? I tried the rgpedit but it does not work. My history in the task bar is also being erased every time I close internet explorer. Add info. We have a wireless connection with 2 laptops in our apt. The message: Hello world I am VB is also on my girlfriends laptop.
how i can get the sound back on ingame? The problem only conserns Call Of Duty: World at war. Menu message states: To change speaker config you need to change the default playback device in your windows sound settings, and restart the game.
This week, Net Applications released their January browser market share report. Their report shows that Internet Explorer 8 is not only the most popular browser on Windows with 27.9% usage share, but that it now has 25.6% of market share across all OS’s on a worldwide-weighted usage share basis (data provided by Net Applications). We launched just less than a year ago, so it’s both humbling and thrilling to see so many people choose our product so quickly – making it the most popular browser of choice worldwide.
There are many reasons people choose which browser to use. Most people want to know and trust the company behind their browser. And people are looking a browser that protects them – and their privacy online. In an August 13th, 2009 post on the IEBlog, we announced Internet Explorer 8’s SmartScreen Filter had hit over 80 million malware blocks. But that was back in August. As of today, Internet Explorer 8 has done over 350 million malware blocks. You can see Internet Explorer 8’s SmartScreen Filter in action in this blog post. Internet Explorer 8’s SmartScreen Filter blocks malware over 2 million times a day...........
Having big problems loading Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego. Getting "Appcrash" and Quicktime problems. Microsoft "help" says Carmen is compatible.
I have a Gateway MT6452 laptop connected to a LG 32LC2D HDTV with SVGA cable. Followed installation instructions and connection works for about five seconds before screen begins flashing and TV disconnects displaying "invalid signal". Software problem, hardware problem, or stupid human installer problem?!
I have a home network with a linksys wrt54gs router and 3 pc's running XP home. home and pro. I got a new Vista computer and inserted a linksys wmp54gs wireless adapter into it. I updated the router firmware a week before I got the new computer. I connected to the internet even though I had the wrong workgroup name. In attempting to find the other computers I fixed the workgroup name so it was the same and tried other things to no avail. I updated the adapter drivers because I found it had generic ones and yesterday I installed Vista SP1.
Now I can't get the internet anymore, much less file sharing. I disabled all firewalls for awhile. In Vista Network and Sharing: Network Discovery: ON, Network set to Private, File Sharing: ON, Public Folder Sharing: ON, Password Protected: OFF, Media Sharing: OFF. I've run the repair wizard a number of different ways. I don't know enough to fool with Wireless Network Connection Properties unless someone holds my hand. Here's what ipconfig says: Windows IP Configuration
i am currently using vista. I'm trying to connect directly to my modem, and it asks for a username and password. I dont have one, and neither xp nor mac require one. Is there some way I can connect?
I got a small problem which is to extend my desktop into second monitor. I used to do that in windows XP it was so simple, how ever it seems I got hard time doing it on Vista even thought I never did it on vista before. I went to Control Panel > Personalization > Display settings, it shows only 1 monitor and saying "(Multiple Monitors) on NVIDIA..." I'm using Vista-64Bit. And on SLI mode and plugged the 2 monitors on the same graphic card. I tried Ultramon 3.0.3 but there still a problem, Ultramon detects only one monitor when I'm trying to use the second. I've been trying to do it in Nvidia software. How ever I ended up switching between monitors only. I tried to search around and ask around for more than 4 hours, And still no good.
We have a wireless network setup in my house. I however am connected directly to the router with an ethernet cable. This was fine until recently when I was having a latency problem and RoadRunner had me bypass the modem to connect directly to the modem so they can make sure my router wasn't the problem. After that, I plugged the ethernet cable back into the router and now I keep getting prompted for a username and password for the PPPoE stuff.
My problem isn't connecting to the internet, I'm able to do that. But randomly, and it truely is random because sometimes it pops up and sometimes it doesn't on the same website, this PPPoE username/pass will pop up and sometimes if I hit cancel I'm able to load the page like normal and continue on. Other times when I hit cancel it does not load the page and I have to wait until later to try and load it again. The internet is broadband and from my reading should not require PPPoE or a username/password. Hopefully I've provided enough info, I'm not very techy and am not the one who setup the network. T
My emails would send and receive fine until this morning. Now Windows Mail keeps asking me for my user name and password, and not accepting the one I enter. I know I am entering the correct info because I have checked with the document I keep that information on. Also, I am able to log in at the att site. If I close the window asking for the info I get this error message -
Account: 'mail@att.net', Server: 'fpostoffice.isp.att.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR authorization not enabled', Port: 995, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18
It hs been a bit sporadic. For example I just hit Send/Receive three times in a row. The first two times it went fine, the third time it asked fo my info again.
I can't seem to keep my internet to stay connecting. Every since I got this Belkin, my internet has it day. Some day it'll stay connecting and other day, I have to keep reboot the router or the computer. I was wondering if there is more then one reading on the IP Address or what.
I am having problem connecting to Windows Mail. Everytime I try log in, it kicks me out and disconnects the internet. Is there viral thing going around? I need answers to fix the problem if there is a step to correct the problem.
