Game crash on graphic settings change

When I open WoW through the created shorcut after I installed it through BitTorrent, when I go to change any of the settings, specifically the resolution, the game window closes and I can't do anything other than signing out or restarting my computer. Can't open WoW back up or anything.

Years ago when I played through Warmane I was told you can do something with your download file and it would save your graphic preset and login info. Everytime I start the game I have to accept the "user agreement" thing and set all of my settings over again. But now my game just crashes pretty much.

What do I do? I can't find any information on it, I even re-installed wotlk WoW
All of this started when my windows updated.

Right click your WoW folder -> Properties -> Read-Only -> remove check.
