> > As to what the list says , im having problems running world of warcraft on vista , this is a isolated issue so far to which when i log on to the game it flickers a bit then screen turns black . Now i never had problems before in running wow in Xp but now that im using vista it seems i cant even get a simple game to work ..Yes i have updated all my drivers . im running wow on a toshiba satellite laptop with my Intel mobile 945g express video card . i meet and exceed requirements for running world of warcraft and vista . I've read up on all problems reguarding vista and took a chance .
