    Default WoW Patch Problem

    I want to start playing WoW, but everytime I try to log in it tells me I need to download a patch. The patch downloads fast, and it tells me to restart. I hit okay, but then it tells me it failed to install and I can't play. How can I fix this?

    Make sure (lol "make sure") that you haven't added any third party program files.

    Otherwise, simply reinstall, and chances are the problem will go away.

    It turns out it was a problem with vista (like always). Running as administrator fixed it. This can be closed now xD

    If you had mentioned using Vista, I would've been able to tell you that trying to play Blizzard games is like trying to cut a tree down with no arms or legs and using chopsticks. It can be done if you want a massive headache.

    I thought it was a sign for you not to play it. MMO's are the devil.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    Everything on Vista is a massive headache
