World of Warcraft and a sad son....

External Since: Oct 29, 2007 Posts: 3

We have just installed ”World of Warcraft” on a computer at home. BUT, when
our son finally gets going, it will not work as it is supposed to.

He gets started, but his caracter may go forward for a short while, and even
go to attack on one or two yellow pigs (? As a mum, I simply dont understand
better, it seems like a yellow pig =-) ). But then, the caracter´s attacks i
useless. Either it doesn´t do any attack, it doesn´t move at all or its
attacks are of no use, the yellow pig seems to be unharmed and after a few
seeconds the pig kills the caracter. In worst case scenario, everything gets
hooked up, and noting more happens at all, it isnt even possible to log out.

What is wrong?

From a mum of a ten year old, desperate, son.

It could be "Lag" or your home network slowing down or that it just can't
handle the game. A game like World of Warcraft requires a pretty fast
internet connection to play. but to be sure check the "Minimum Requirements"
sticker that is normally on the box, and check it with the computer the game
was installed on.
Click on Start, then click "Run" and type, "dxdiag".
wait for it to finish and then on the first window when you open it the
System Information should be listed.

this might or might not help you. but i tried.
