| World Of Warcraft Hi, I have most of my games working now (Dreamfall, Mark of Chaos, Baldur's Gate, Tunguska, Battle forMiddle Earth, to name a few) but no luck installing World of Warcraft. It either errors whilst installing about validating files or similarly whilst applying the first patch. I may have a physical memory fault, which Vista flags if I run the Memory Diag routine, but everything else seems ok. Any Thoughts?

Fix your memeory and then try it again. also I just installed WOW on Vista and it would crash until the last nvidia driver update. So if you have a nvidia card try the new driver AFTER you fix you memory. > > System: > Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz, 3207 Mhz, 1 Core(s), 2 Logical > Processor(s) > Total Physical Memory 2,046.94 MB > Drive C: > File System NTFS > Size 229.65 GB (246,585,667,584 bytes) > Free Space 112.76 GB (121,078,378,496 bytes) > > |

| Re: World Of Warcraft WoW works here... I did hear that people were having problems running it when they didn't have administrative rights... Could that be it?

If a patch was released you have to right-click then run as Administrator. Other then that I have had no problems running World of Warcraft under Vista Ultimate.

| RE: World Of Warcraft Hi, I have a Vista pc and WoW installed properly for me, however, after several tries. Installation gave me 2 error messages that my firewall was blocking installation and if you click on the message as it is installing, it will take you to their website and tell you that you must include into your firewall: 1) Blizzard Downloader (TCP) ports 6881-6999 2)Blizzard Downloader (TCP) port 6112 3)Blizzard Downloader (TCP) port 3724. I again tried to re-install and still received the error message and upon investigation, found that my wireless router firewall also had to have the 3 files mentioned above added. I had to uninstall Wow and then re-install after giving access and all worked successfully. I am running 32 bit and have played the games successfully after the above mentioned fixes.

| Re: World Of Warcraft WoW is VERY careful when copying files, if your RAM is failing the files won't copy correctly from the CDs. the program will see the problem and fail the install or the patch. I had the same problem on an old Windows XP machine. I found out my memory didn't support the speed I was running it at. I slowed down the RAM on the motherboard BIOS and the problem went away. Good luck, Don't buy cheap ram!
