So I've been playing this WoW before on my laptop, never had any problems, I played one with WoD models. Recently I tried to launch the game and it showed me this crash, error #134, "Failed to read this and that". I was looking for solution and I didnt find one so I reinstalled the client, installed same one with models and it worked for some time, until i tried to enter ogrimmar and it crashed for the same reason, failed to read some file. Then I uninstalled that client and installed the old one without models, it launches the game, allows me to login, but when i choose character it crashes on loading screen. I have tried running it as an administrator, turning off windows firewall. I dont know what else to do, it keeps crashing and im out of ideas. Please help me.
This is the message from the crash window:

You can use Services > Character Unstuck to get out of the place that causes crashes.
I am not sure how you could permanently solve the issue. That error message usually means that the file is corrupted and redownloading the client should have fixed it.
I figured out the files are corrupted and also my torrent showed "Data error - Cycling redundancy check", so i ran all of tests to see if there are any errors in system and hdd and fix them, also tried with registry repair tool.. Nothing worked. I may try to reinstall it 1 more time and if it doesnt work im out..
Also don't know why reinstalling didn't fix corrupted files.
