1. Game crashes upon start up

    Title is pretty self explanatory. Double clicking Wow.exe does nothing for abour a minute and afterwards I get an error message. Screenshot of said error: http://i.imgur.com/OoKRXrX.png

  2. This error may occur when World of Warcraft is prevented from making changes to a game file. It can be caused by incorrect permissions, a security program, or an error in the file itself. Follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

    World of Warcraft must be run in Administrator Mode in order to read and write files correctly. Run the game in administrator mode and try again.
    Some security programs may block access to files. Temporarily disable or remove any security programs and run the game again.
    Outdated hardware drivers may cause game instability and crashes. Update any out-of-date drivers and try again.
    Sometimes damaged files can be repaired by running the launcher’s repair utility. Run the repair tool and try again.
    A fresh installation of the game may resolve this issue. Uninstall World of Warcraft and reinstall the game from the Battle.net Game Downloads page.

  3. Try right-clicking your Wow.exe , go to properties and uncheck "read-only" , see if that helps.

  4. Sadly none of the above suggestions helped.
