WotLK Always needing to fix my resolution

[seriouslee]

Whenever I start the game the video resolution is never fit for my screen. I would always need to fix my video settings to have it fix my screen (full screen). How can I fix this like it's kind of a hassle having to do this every time on my PC. :/ Thanks guys :>

Follow these steps:
1) Restart your PC ( this is important)
2) close your Torrent client and move your WoW folder away from your Torrent's download destination
3) now right click on WoW folder> Properties> remove "read-only".

You need to do it to the folders inside the main one (the folders you see when you open the folder containing the game) after that go back and remove the read only to the main folder. You should be good to go after that. :)

Did you move the game to another folder?

2. 'Properties'.
3. Note the 'Location' and browse to the file path using Windows Explorer.
4. Right-click the 'WTF' folder.
5. Deselect 'Read-only'.
6. Select 'Ok'.
7. Set it to 'Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files'.

Try running the Wow.exe as Administrator and applying the settings again. Take a screenshot of the base directory (e.g. "C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft") and upload it so that I can take a look.
