Hey,

I installed WoW with all the latest patches, opened the game, signed in and entered the "world". I press the arrow keys to move my character and wham...the laptop screen goes black then restarts.

I let the laptop reboot, logged back in and tried WoW again...same problem.

I also get this problem with Silkroad...When I load it up, it asks me which server I want to choose. I pick one and click ok and....same problem. Laptop screen goes black and restarts.

Does anyone know what the problem is here? I have posted my laptop specs below:

• Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66GHz
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 224MB
• 100GB Hard Drive
• 1GB DDR2 RAM

I have also included the crash report from when I log back into Vista:

As far as I know, World of Warcraft is NOT supported on Vista. And your Intel intergrated graphics hardly make a recipe for success.

I don't thinks it's possible, at this time, to do what you ask.

You might try running the WoW executable in XP compatibility mode.

Im sure WoW is supported in Vista...

I upgraded the graphics driver and silkroad plays now...no more restarts.

Im gona reinstall WoW and see if it works now that I have upgraded the graphics drivers...

I installed the latest drivers for my graphics and this has sorted the problem

Very good. Just as a side note. WoW needs to have admin rights to run updates.

Here's how to fix the problem: instead of normally starting the game and letting it update, right-click on the World of Warcraft shortcut on your desktop and select "Run as administrator". That's it!

I am the administrator of the computer, but alot of the "This action requires administrator consent...etc" windows still pop up.

I can do what I need to but it gets anoying after a while lol...

WoW is running fine now...cheers
