Hello,
I've recently reinstalled my vista on my laptop.
I installed WoW and everything was okay..
But now, when I play and there is too many ppl around me or too many skills cast, im getting a black screen, like a flash of 2 - 3 secs and sometimes more..

Before i re installed vista, everything was okay, i could run WoW easily without any lags..

Any solutions :S?


EDIT: When I got too many of those " black flashes " my pc crash..

Thanks

p.s my pc specs sux but I could run WoW, counter-strike: source without any lags before..

i was getting this from fur mark a while ago. i believe is a software issue try a fresh reinstall. or wipe your card drivers and direct X and reinstall them to uptodate. if that does not work your card cant take windows vista with Aero and the other qwerks that makes the GUI look smooth

here use this Driver Sweeper - Download

uninstall them from ur account and in safe mode.


and by reinstall i mean by reinstalling the game but make sure u reinstall direct X and ur video card driver.

BTW if you just installed a new video card with out reformating it will have errors like like blue screen its better to install one with a clean install but u said u installed the game and its doing it so don't worry about it

Im not really good with those things, how do I do it?

and by a fresh install, do you mean put the cd and re install the whole vista?

I think that was a reference to your drivers.

A black screen appearing while playing a game may be and malfunction with the display driver. Try updating your display driver.
