Can't start wow

[eddieffs]

After a long time i decided to start playing again, i downloaded MOP and when i try to start it, it doesn't start and it shows up as a background process in task manager. Anyone else had this problem? how can i solve this?

Is it happening the same with the minimal client?

i haven't tried it, because i wasn't sure how it works. should i download the minimal version from the download section?

All you have to do is to extract the .zip file and start Wow.exe. That is it.

1) close your Torrent client and move your WoW folder away from your Torrent's download destination
2) now right click on WoW folder> Properties> remove "read-only"
