cannot re - install world of warcraft free trial

I played world of warcraft free trial without any problem. I then downloaded a helper to search for add-on from curse.com. Since then I can not enter one of the worlds on wow. I deleted the helper of the quest module and also to remove the client from the curse. Still could not play wow. I then did a system restore to an earlier time when wow worked fine. Again, which did not help. So I then deleted my test free wow and tried to reinstall it. When I try and download it I get a pop up saying: do you want to save this file, or find a program online to open it. I tried both without success. When I do the "find a program online" here is what I get.

Windows has the following information about this MIME type. This page will help you find the software needed to open your file.

You can search the following website for more information and related software:

The web search gives me all the information that I feel is secure or reliable. Anyone know what this means or what I can do to fix this download?

P.S. I am running vista Home premium 32

Hi Susank5,

Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of Windows Vista.

It seems to me that the quest for add-on from curse.com helper has corrupted somehow the game files.

I need to know the file extension you want to download.

I will recommend you to completely uninstall the game from the machine using the Windows Cleanup utility. You can download the utility from the link given:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

Once done, restart the machine and try to download the file again on the machine.

Alternatively, you can go search for blizzard's online support for further assistance.

Hope the information will help. Please post back and we do know.

Thank you & best regards

    Thank you!

    From: Mark

    There are a lot of people on this list who are playing WOW under Vista so it must work.

    A couple of easy things to try:

    1 - remove the folder C:\Program World of Warcraft.temp. Its possible that it I messed up during the installation of the system and the file is locked, preventing new attempts to working installation.

    2 - right click on the file setup.exe on your cd and select 'Run as administrator', it might be useful if it's a permissions problem

    Hope thelps!

    Looks like it could be a disc damaged, try giving it a good cleaning.  Otherwise, download the game from Blizzard, rather than use the disks, or copy the folder of WoW to one of your existing facilities and run repair on this subject.

  • Windows 7 cannot connect to World Of Warcraft

    Hi there, my friend recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 running on this topic from Dell. The new OS is nice and smooth, but something with this set-up allow him to connect to WoW, when you sign in. He has been able to download patches and updates, but just cannot connect. When he puts in his password, he tries to connect for about one second and starts an error he is incapable. With that it is fast I think it's something to do with its firewall. After disabling the windows firewall and disable the antivirus, we still have the problem. No it's not the router because I have my laptop connected to the server just WoW beside him on the same connection exactly to the same router. I've seen others have this kind of problem, but there is never really no answer. Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    FreakPeach,
    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum.  Well I must say that I am under WoW on Windows 7 without any problem.  Since everything seems to work fine, I can only think of a few things for you to try now.
     
    First make sure that your friend connects with his account Battle.net and not the old name of WoW.  Have him connect you on your PC just to be sure nothing upward with his log in.

    Then (and I know that you said that is not the router) check the configuration of the router.  Just make sure that your PC is not in the demilitarized zone, or is it not any port forwarding setup just for your connection.  Just check the WoW server settings are global.

    If the router is good then you may want to Clean Boot the PC and see if that helps.  Maybe another program is in the way.

    If these things check all out them and you can't always get connected I would try the Support of WoW because they have better information on this matter.

    I hope that your friend will be Arthas and running and fragging with a mohawk in a very near future grenade!  :)  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • World of warcraft installation

    try to install world of warcraft on my computer toshiba laptop.  im not getting an error message, but the prompt to insert the next disc is not coming.  If someone could help me I would be grateful.

    Hi daddybigmac69,

    Installing the game cannot continue due to some reasons such as:

    (1) the game files corrupted in DVD
    (2) scratches or impure DVD
    (3) previous installation of World of Warcraft files on the computer that could not be rewritten.
    (4) the safety programs or any other application blocks the installation.

    Try following these steps and check if it works:

    Step 1: Clean the disc Clean the CD or the DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft and Lint cotton cloth. Do not use cloth of paper which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly until you insert the disc in the drive.

    Step 2: Install and then start the program by using a different CD or DVD drive

    The CD drive may be unable to read the product CD. Try to install the program by using a different CD or DVD drive on the same computer or on another computer. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Insert the CD into the CD or DVD to another computer player or a second CD or DVD drive on the original computer. The installation program should start.
    2. Click install Express .
    3. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to install the program.

    If the installation is successful and you can start the game in this test, the problem may be that the original CD drive or the DVD drive cannot read the game CD.

    Step 3: Use the Windows Installer CleanUp utility

    Download and then install the Microsoft Windows Cleanup utility. To do this, see the Microsoft Web site:

    http://download.Microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe (http://download.microsoft.com/download/e/9/d/e9d80355-7ab4-45b8-80e8-983a48d5e1bd/msicuu2.exe)

    Save the file to the desktop. When the download is complete, double-click the file and then follow the directions. When the installation is complete, click Start , point to all programs and then click Windows Installer CleanUp .

    In the list of the products installed , delete all entries that are related to the product you have installed wrong. If there are too many entries, click select all , and then click Remove . When you have deleted all entries, click exit , and then start the installation of the product. For more information, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    (b) if the computer is not connected to the Internet

    See the topic "Create a user account" in Windows Help and Support on the hard disk of the computer as follows:

    1. Click Start and then click Help and Support .
    2. In the search help box or in the Search online help box, type create a user account and then click on Search Help .
    3. In the list of topics, click on create a user account .

  • World of Warcraft won't patch...

    Hello. Yesterday, I bought a new PC with Windows 7. This evening I installed World of Warcraft and its two expansion packs.

    However, when I try to start it and the patch, the Downloader is stuck at 10% and goes no further.

    The Warcraft folder is in the Public folder (on the users folder).

    I made sure the Downloader is not blocked by my firewall and I'm at a loss to understand what the problem is now.

    Help, please

    You might have more luck looking at the forums of Blizzard's Support for that... but I'll give it a shot.

    Are the ports for the game open [check out their site for this... can't quite recall what they are]? You also unlock for the program WoW itself? Hmmm

    Have you tried to just manually download patches? Because when from this first CD, the download can take quite a long time...

  • Installation of World of Warcraft on Windows 7 problem

    I tried to install World of Warcraft on Windows 7 Ultimate. When I put in the CD of the Lich King, it comes up saying, download new installer. I got there at night thinking it would end download. Well, I have nothing. A few times it will freeze and even the CD Burning Crusade will do the same. The CD only I could install is World of Warcraft CD.

    Has anyone else been able to install WOW or been able to play the game under windows 7 versions? Is it because of no service pack yet? Anyone has any ideas or information about why the game could have these problems? I would really appreciate it. I love Windows 7 and really don't want to go back and remove the hard drive from my XP.

    Hi Jrdenn,

    What version of World of Warcraft you trying to install?

    Here is the link of the compatibility of Windows 7 which provides information about the versions of World of Warcraft that are compatible with Windows 7.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx

    If the game is not compatible, you can try to install the game in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

    Follow the link given below to install the game in compatibility mode.

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    For more information, you can contact the Publisher of the game.

    http://us.Blizzard.com/support/

    You can also try to copy the content to the hard drive then install add-ins and check what is happening.

    Hope this information is useful.
