World of Warcraft patch 3.2 for vista?

So I tried to re - install wow about 4 times... now to understand that the new patch (3.2) I can't play wow due to the fact that my laptop with vista on it is pre-decembre 2008.
I have a DELL Inspiron 1501.
Can someone tell me how to get the update that resolves this problem? I downloadd all the updates 17 which have been put on this laptop and STILL cannot install the new patch.
Can someone give me a link as to where I can get this?
-Thank you

Hey buckwheat 91,.

The last world war patch 3.1 requires a minimum of 64 MB graphic memory. Try to download the latest video driver for your laptop and install it. Here is a link from the site Web of Dells that I found to download and install the drivers:

http://support.Dell.com/support/downloads/DriversList.aspx?c=us&CS=04&l=en&s=BSD&OS=WW1&OSL=en&CATID=&impid=&SystemID=INS_PNT_1501

You can also check the video card drivers updated directly on the manufacturer such as ATI support site.

If this does not work, could you please tell us if you get any guest while trying to install the game. If so, please let me know what is the prompt you get.

Try this and let us know if it works.

Thank you

    Hello

    ·        What are the steps that you took form of Blizzard Technical Support forums?

    Follow the steps mentioned below.

    Method 1:

    It may be that some third-party software is causing this problem. Perform a clean boot and see if the problem is resolved.

    If you can boot in safe mode, then I suggest you perform a clean boot.

    1. click on Start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start The System Configuration utility.

    2. on the general tab click Selective startup , and then click to clear the check box loadstartup items. (The check box use the file Boot is not available.)

    3. on the Services tab, click to select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click disable all

    Note: Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you can permanently delete all restore points. Do not do this if you want to use to restore the system with the existing restore points.

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start, type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    2. on the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    3. When you are prompted to restart the computer, click restart

  • Error "Microsoft Visual C++ runtime library has encountered an error and must terminate the program" during the installation of the patch for World of Warcraft

    Original title: runtime library

    When you install the game World of warcraft it installs ok but the problem comes when the patch is installed, when it is 99% done windows gives me an error message

    Microsoft visual c ++ runtime library then said he has encountered an error and must terminate the program, I never had this problem when I put the game on my HARD lecteur2 replaced because he was going to die on me

    My operating system is Windows Vista SP2

    Help me please if you can

    Thank you much xx

    Hi Hopson81,

    Try to install the patch by starting the computer in selective startup mode (also known as a clean boot state).

    Start your computer in a clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

    For instructions, see How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 .

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Hello Papastew10, I don't think it's something that makes Windows Vista.  Sounds like that, it's something controlled by Mumble, so there should be some options for that somewhere.  If not but you might be able to substitute by right click on the speaker icon in the system tray and choose Open Volume Mixer, try to adjust the volume of World of Warcraft from there.

  • Upgrading HP a6123w for expansion of World of Warcraft

    Hello all-

    I currently run a HPa a6123w

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01070884

    The upgrade only that I did is to put a pretty weak NVidia 8400gs graphic card in it... I just went to Best Buy and bought one in the range of $ 50 million.

    I am a player of World of Warcraft, and recently in anticipation of the new expansion, they have improved their graphics. I see now quite poor performance with the graphics settings turned far enough down. I have to go on settings low to shoot about 30 pictures per second.

    Looking around updates of questions on this forum, I see a new power supply and graphics card in my future.

    I know I should up my diet through at least 500w or so with a quality brand PSU.

    I also know that I have to update my graphics card.  I'm looking to either an ATI 4850, 5670 or 5770.  Or the Nvidia gtx 460.

    I'm looking for my best option "bang for buck".  I really only play WoW on my PC, which I know is not a graphics card heavy game of cards.  I also know that I am a bottleneck with my processor speed, and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit Home.

    I wonder what's my best option for graphics card for the next WoW expansion and also if it's worth updating my processors and advancing toward a 64-bit Windows 7 as operating system.  Or I'd better save this money for the new system altoghether. I know I'm a little behind on my computer, but one that want a bit better game WoW experience, I have not had problems with this computer.

    I wonder also if just the upgrade of a Nvidia 240GT, it will be enough of an upgrade without having to change power supply and other components as I really only play a game on my PC.

    Thanks in advance for any help and response (s).

    You can put a lot of money on upgrades or just buy a new PC.  Your PC is 3.5 years, so you have to consider the cost to the verses of the age of the PC upgrades and a 3.5 year old motherboard.

    $70-100 power supply

    $150-200 video card

    Upgrade processor $150-250

    $100 memory

    W7 64-bit $99

    If you decide to go the way of upgrade and then go with a power supply 550 watt dual PCI-E power connectors 6 and then buy the NVIDIA GT 460 with 256 memory interface.  You can always move this material to another PC, IE the motherboard on your PC goes wrong.

    Hello DaTurtle !

    I had exactly the same problem, I have not found the sollution here...

    But I found how to fix very easy !

    You do a right click on the WOW icon at the office-
    then browse to the location of the file -
    It will appear a lot of files-
    Click on the WoW program file instead of the pitcher-
    will start your wow game-
    Log in as normal-
    then he will come to the top to update...

    After the update your wow will work as usual!

  • 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...

  • Need help, get permission to edit files. Windows 7 won't let me uninstall or patch my game world of warcraft.

    I have problems with obtaining of permission to change my files, in particular my games like world of warcraft since the upgrade to windows 7.  The game needs to be patched and for some reason, I was not allowed to delete/modify these files.  I tried to uninstall the game and reinstall, but windows will not yet give me permission to uninstall the game. says I need permission to another user. I am the Admin so I don't know what to do. Here are two mistakes that I see.

    The "Warcraft\Launcher.exe C:\Users\Public\Games\World" file could not be read. If the problem persists, you may be able to solve by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. If you are unable to solve this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (CompareVersion)

    you need permission to perform this action
    you need robby-PC/Robby permission to make changes to this file

    Well to be honest, it looks like somebody was playing with the security settings on the Public folder.  And that Robby is now the only one allowed the user to modify the file.

    I would say a click right on the issue of World of Warcraft or games, going to properties, then security, clicking on edit, then adding "everyone" user to it and him giving total control.  Make sure there is no box to Deny checked either to other users.

    Uninstalling it would be unnecessarily laborious given the amount of patches that you would then go and download it again. Paul Smith - MVP for Windows desktop experience...

  • Problems with Vista + Ventrilo, World of WarCraft Sound issues

    Hi and Hello, I'm a greedy player world of Warcraft I also do a lot of WoW RAID... It is a Must to use Ventrilo here is the problem

    OK when I Ventrilo and headphones connected and when I have World of Warcraft upward and when people start talkin they burst, break and stutter, but when I reduce Wow I can hear them perfectly 100% but when wow is up she usually bad breeze takes several seconds b4, I can actually what they're tryin to say... people tell me it's Vista others tell me that it's a software problem or hardware, I'm so lost and how the hell do I fix this so I can hear everything and all without any interference or decompose?

    Well, this can be caused by more than one thing.  It may be that World of Warcraft focuses on your audio hardware.  You can try to reduce the audio settings in WoW to see if this makes the use of Ventrilo better.  It may also be a driver problem.  I would check to make sure that you have the latest drivers for your audio device.  What kind of material is in the coffeemaker you all this running on?  If it is not powerful enough you can often get audio glitches.  WoW itself could have priority on the processor, so that other tasks get less time CPU.  When you reduce WoW, is no longer a priority that is why you can hear everyone Ok.  Usually if your audio hardware is powerful enough or your processor is fast enough, you can do both.

    If someone could make me a response on why this error keeps coming up, it would be much appricated.

    Thank you

    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.

  • Suggestions on laptops that will be take place for example online games. World of Warcraft

    Hello
    I thought about buying a new laptop and I have absolutely no idea of which to buy. I am wanting to buy a laptop that can run games like World of Warcraft and Battlefield 2 online.
    Gladly, I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions as to a good laptop that I could buy for less than £1000.

    The P300 seems to be really a nice laptop
    But there is different material specifications; for example, different processors, graphics cards, etc.

    But portable P300 series isn't bad and I'm sure that your games runs correctly.
