Hi Howardthebear, Welcome to TSF.
First of all, take a breath.
It's hard to read paragraphs without a single full stop.
Ok, have a run through the 'Common Game Issues' link in my signature. That will eliminate the possibility of it being a common problem.
If you go through all those and are still having problemswith WOW. Follow the last step in that thread, by posting your exact system specs back here (another link on how to also in my signature).
Also, if you could give more specific details on the error you are getting.
If you could take a screenshot and post it here as well, that would be a great help.
Cheers.
