Vista Tutorial - Random disconnections in World of Warcraft

waverider · 03-22-2008

Hello, from the beginning of playing World of Warcraft under Windows Vista 64-bit, (which is about 3 months), I have been having random disconnections. Sometimes I get logouts as often as once an hour or so, and sometimes I can play for many hours before it disconnects again. Anyone else been having the same problem? Or does anyone have any possible advice that might work?

By the way, I have a dual boot machine, with Win XP on the smaller drive, and I never have any disconnections in WoW there.

My machine:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 / Asus P5B mb / 2 Gb Corsair DDR2-667 / XFX Nvidia 8800GTX / Seagate Barracuda 320Gb /

Play wow under xp. It has had problems under vista. If you have a duel booting system it makes sense to use the os that works better with the program.

I only have XP installed because of problems in WoW as well as for a computer synthesizer that doesn't yet have 64 bit support. But Vista 64 is my main OS and I'd love to be able to only use that if possible.
