World of Warcraft Stuck at *Connecting*

*The problem is half-solved*

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?

Seems to me the simplest way out of this would be to bind another key for push-to-talk? Although, I can't imagine how running the game as Admin would cripple your hotkeys?

Is this ingame voice or are you using Ventrilo or Teamspeak?

Are you sure your MIC is working? I had to jump through a hoop or two to get my MIC to work... go into the Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound and select the Recording tab. Select your MIC then run through the configure wizard. Unless you've already tried that?

My mic works fine, the problem is running Vent, while wow is being run as administrator:

When I push my PTT button, nothing happens, the main this I wanna know is:

How do I get it so I don't have to run it as admin?
 

My Computer

I'm not sure how to help? Whether you run WoW as an Admin or not has nothing to do with Ventrilo, or at least it shouldn't have; never heard of this before. Some games I have to run as Admin, some I don't... Vent or Teamspeak has never been affected one way or the other.

If the game requires you to run it as Admin, I'm not sure you can just 'not' run as Admin. You can try, but the game will either not run right or not run at all. Very weird problem.

Seems to me that instead of figuring out how to not run in Admin, you should look instead at Ventrilo? Does WoW have ingame chat that's enabled that could be effecting your Vent? Does Vent work just fine along side all other games but this one?

No, don't do that. That is pointless. Running the hidden Adminsitraotr account means you don't have that backup anymore if your system gets hosed. And, trust me, thsiis not needed to get your setup working.

Instead, run *both* Ventrilo and WoW as admin. When in an elevated app you';ll find that it will act as if it is in a sandbox - so that data cannot necessarily be pushed out to non elevated apps, and vice versa (try opening Firefox as admin, and then making sure it is set to only run one instance (only available, AFAIK, from Tab Mix Plus extension) and then try clicking a URL in, say, your email program that is *not* running as admin.

*Or*: write a small batch file that runs CMD elevated, and then loads both Ventrilo and WoW as admin - that might work even better (if my first suggestion does not work because of the two apps being sandboxed from each other) as both of them should then run as admin as a child process of the CMD window, and thus should both be inheriting the exact same privileges, and hopefully sandbox working space, from the CMD window.

Actually, I believe you can just write the batch file itself to call the two apps and run *them* elevated and it will accomplish the same thing - I think.

Anyhoo, to do this you'll need an elevate script to install into your system that allows you to run the elevate VB Script that elevates the command following, much like sudo does in Linux. To get that, see Utility Spotlight: Script Elevation PowerToys for Windows Vista - or you could get Start++ - see http://www.vistax64.com/software/115872-free-software-list-vista.html
