1. WotLK Client won't start

    Hello,
    I am trying to start a WotLK client on a windows 7 x64 machine with a Intel Pentium G4600 processor and 8 gigs of ram.
    But It doesn't work. Nothing happens when I use WoW.exe, the only thing I can see is there are two processes started (seeing them in Task Manager) :
    1. WoW.exe *32
    2. Rundll.exe *32

    rundll.exe skyrockets my processor to 100% on all 4 cores and stays like that untill I kill the process. When I run WoW.exe in Windows xp competability mode I get better proccessor results ~50% on all cores, but still - no client is being loaded. I did try to disable antivirus software for testing purposes, but to no avail.

    Does anyone have any idea on what could be the issue?

  2. try this:
    1) Restart your PC
    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"

  3. Unfortunately I had all of this done even before posting my question :(. Thank you for your reply, tho. Got any more ideas?

  4. try to download the client again? but this time pick "wotlk (old)"

  5. Old client downloaded and working. Interesting. Well, I guess the case is closed. Thank you.
