I installed Vista, downloaded all possible drivers and updates, and then
double clicked on WoW, holding my breath. I can login, select a character,
but then when it is loading, just before I can actuall control my character,
I can't get off the loading screen. The blue line fills up and everything,
but it won't go any further. It ran absolutely perfect on XP.

These are my Specs:
512 MB of RAM
Nvidia GeForce 5200
Pentium 4 2.8 GHz

A colleague of mine had this same problem, and he said he got it running by
setting the resolution to it's lowest setting. I am not 100% sure if he said
he did that in the game options, or the pc itself, but I believe it was
in-game.

Sorry I am rather vague on this, but I am like the only person on earth who
doesn't play this game :)

Someone else said that it worked best if you set your desktop to the
resolution you wanted to run the game, not necessarily as low as possible,
but matched.

Setting the resolution to the WoW resolution doesn't work, and setting the
computer and WoW to the lowest res. doesnt work either. Sometimes the game
will load and I can play, but after a while it will freeze up and i have to
exit or restart the computer. I am beginning to think that the problem is
with my video card.

Hi,

I havent had the chance to try WoW on Vista yet (my shipments gone missing)
but the problem that you are saying about WoW locking up and having to
reboot, is more than likely WoW itself. Myself and many of my friends are
having the same problem. Maybe try disabling any mods?

There is an active discussion on the WoW forums about Vista

Hope this helps.

Well you do have the MIN amount of ram required for Vista... Could be that
your running out of ram and needing to rely on your Swap file more then
you're used to, causing WoW to load extreamly slow, or even stall entirely..
WoW is a Mem hog as it is so you may try upping your memory and see if that
works for you..

just my 1/50th

OK I firstly just like to say that this guide is far from a
comprehensive guide to making money in Runescape, it is just a couple
of the things I do to make money. I have written about my best fives
ways to make money: www.runescapecoin.com

1. Kill chickens and collect their feathers ?this is a great one for
those players out there that have a combat below 30. One of the
biggest benefits is you get combat experience as well. After you have
collected a fair few (at least 500) go to world one, if you'e a Free
to Play member, and sell them just to the East of the West Bank in
Varrock. If you'e a Pay to Play member, the best place to sell them is
just North of the East Falador Bank. They sell for 10-20 gold each in
member worlds. You can also buy feathers from fishing shops; if you
buy them in big enough quantities (at least 1000) you can make a good
profit.

2. Save up 200k then go to world one, for Free to Play members, or
world 2 for Pay to Play members, and buy stuff that is selling lower
than its market price, and then try and find a buyer that is willing
to pay what it is worth or more. This is called merchanting. To do
this well you need to keep up to date with market prices, this is
possibly the best way to make money in Runescape.

3. This tip is members only. Save 50k-300k then go to West Ardougne,
behind castle there is a lever in the small shack pull it, you will
see it say you will be teleported into level 45 wild, so don't bring
anything with you but a weapon with slash. Then go North, cut the web,
then go west. You will see a shack with two webs, cut both, then
inside pull lever. Once you are inside talk to the banker get some
money and trade the man in the east corner. You can buy laws for
210-299 gold each, basic runes sell for 3-5gp each. Then head to world
one and sell them in Varrock.

4. This tip is members only. Make arrows, keeping in mind bronze
arrows sell for 10 each, so don't make them. Iron sell for 20 gold
each on world one; steel sell for 40 gold each, mithril 100 gold
each,
adamite 200 gold each and rune 400 gold each on world two.

5. A way for any member to make good XP and money is to go to the Rock
Crabs in Relica and kill Rock Crabs. They are only level 13 and are
super easy to kill and they drop unidentified herbs and level one
clues. Sounds basic but it's a great way of making money. You get
quick XP but you also you can sell unidentified herbs for 1k each in
any world and 2k each when you'e selling in bulk on world 2.

That is my little Runescape Money Making Guide.

3. World of Warcraft: slow loading 

I just built a new rig and I have installed Ubuntu 7.10, running
Compiz, and everything works great. I also have World of Warcraft
running under Wine 0.9.52, and runs nice, but when I try to join
Alterac Valley, a battleground with 80 players, it slows on load, then
freezes. I have to "force Quit" to exit and restart. It also slows on
Eye of Storm, a 30 player battleground, freezes for 1-2 minutes, then
loads. The other 2 battlegrounds are slow on load, but no long freeze
time. So, Alterac Valley is the only one I can't play.

System Specs:
mb: MSI K9NBPM2-FID
AMD X2 5200 2.6GHz
EVGA 8600 GT 256mb
4g RAM: G.Skill DDR2 800
Seagate 250g SATA 3.0

I run one Screenlet, system runs at 22% memory in use by programs, so
I am clearly not using my RAM at full. Is it the graphics card? What
settings should I change to be able to run WOW with no freezing? Is
this a Wine issue? Need help.

Thanks

5. World of Warcraft Problem 

Hi, everytime I try to install WoW on my Dell Inspiron 1520 notebook, I get 
the following error at about 98% way through to the installation.

"The file "C:\Program Files\World of 
Warcraft.temp\Data.temp\enUS.temp\Documentation.temp" could not be renamed to 
"C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft.temp\Data.temp\enUS.temp\Documentation". 
(ConflictManager::ResolveConflicts/1)"

I'm running Windows Vista and I have a 8600GT with 2 gigs of ram.  I have no 
idea why this is happening, can anyone find a solution for me please?

Thanks!
