Vista - World of Warcraft Stuck at *Connecting*

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?

Re: World of Warcraft Stuck at *Connecting*

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?

Re: World of Warcraft Stuck at *Connecting*

I started running Ultimate x64 not to long ago and I had problems like yours aswell. I went to the Ventrilo website and found there is a x64 version of Ventilo that works fine for me. It solved my problems.

Here's the link: Ventrilo - Download Product

Kind regards.
