four out of five messages in this thread from you. All within 9 minutes!!!! You need to have patience. It could be up to 24 hours before someone who knows the answer can get to you. If you keep replying for no reason someone will take a look at the post count and think you are already getting help. Be patient!!!

Is it your resolution that is the problem? (is everything bigger than before?)

Hello its_420.
Welcome to CyberTechHelp.
We would like to be able to help you but in order to do so, we need a lot more information than what you have given us so far.
Can you tell us a little about your computer.
Make and model? e.g. Dell Dimension 12345
Operating System? e.g. Windows XP Home SP2

I assume from the last post that the System Restore has resolved your resolution issue with your desktop, and now you are back to your original problem (before you came here) of an inability to play WoW.
What is the exact problem with WoW?

well, smurfy, thanks for getting back to me on this. for my computer:
make: dell dimension 4500s
operating system:windows xp
i only have 1.28GB of space available after downloading for the 3rd time to resolve this issue...
i have tryed to delete all .tmp files, clearing out all programs i dont use ex. aim, myspace messanger etc...
as far as i know, my limewire is using 3.95GB AND WOW is using 6.08GB, i cant seem to locate where the problem is... i have 18.6GB on my c:/ drive so... what to do?

as far as EXACTLY what is happening is when i turn on wow (only on a certain charicter that is a higher level. 46) i can play for like 4 min at most and then my system will do a restart. it will shut down and restart on its own. i tryed doing the function that stops it from auto shut off but then i just got a blue screen with an error... i dont know what to do..

What is the name of the error when the blue screen comes up?

While the blue screen looks like gobbledygook, the top couple of lines containing the error codes are very important for us to try and diagnose the problem.
