Hello,

Here is my story, I play World of Warcraft and I was wondering why I my FPS was so poor. I talked Technical Support for the game, they told me to call Technical Support for my computer because when entering "Dxdiag" it says "Processor Model Unknown" and that was causing my issue. They sent me a link in my e-mail to download, something for a chipset driver. Once I downloaded that my computer froze and I was told I would have to completely reboot my computer. So right now I'm doing Windows Updates and downloading stuff all over again. So, I broke my computer downloading that chipset driver thing for no reason because it STILL says "Processor Model Unknown"

How do I fix this? I'm horrible with computers, I mean really horrible.

The yellow exclamation I have is: "Microsoft ISATAP Adapter #2" everything else looks fine.



Edit: Thank you very much for the help, the Technical Support for my computer does absolutely nothing to help and I cannot understand a word they're saying.
