Simple question. Is The 64-bit version of Vista compatible with WoW?

Compatible? More than likely not, but if you find the right group of drivers it should run inside it. You just have to realize that you will not be in the recognized environment, which means limited support.

Thank you very much. That was a very fast response and encouraging too! My 64 bit version is coming Tuesday so hopefully no big problems will arise.

i have just instaled windows vista 64bit . i also instaled burning crusades and when i open the game it makes the screen have a bunch of colorful lines every where? is there somthing i can do ?

Q u o t e:
I have Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition now but I do not have those lines. What type of hardware and drivers are you using?

I think he might be referring to massive screen tearing. I also encounter this problem under Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium. I'm fortunate I left XP installed on a second partition, or I would not be able to play at all. FYI, Windows Vista Home Preimum 32-bit, Nvidia GeForce 6600TD (driver version 100.65, just testing 101.40 now), ASUS P4S800-MX motherboard with 768MB DDR333 RAM, not using offboard sound.

ok i got a new PC yesterday and i downloaded the first 5 disks for wow and the first patch goes thru, but then the second patch say this after its loaded...

The file "C:/programdata/microsoft/windows/start menu/programs/world of warcraft/world of warcraft.Ink.temporary" could not be created. If this problem persists, you may be able to solve it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the game. if you are unable to correct this problem, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (installerFile::Create)

and i uninstalled it twice and the same thing came up each time...im getting really frusterated plz plz plz help me out

I had the exact same error message when I tried to install WoW on my new computer yesterday. After reading several of the same problems, I decided not to keep trying to uninstall or reinstall the game, but luckily had copied the World of Warcraft folder onto a hardrive, then burned it onto a DVD from a different computer, and then copied the folder onto my new computer, and it worked.

I "fixed" this problem by rebooting the computer after the first patch download so that the .tmp file would be deleted (for some reason it didn't automatically delete itself). The second patch then went OK. Ever since I used an Image disk to configure my HD back to its original state and re-installing WoW and TBC, the patches worked fine automatically.

I had problems with texture map tearing on my XP system to the point that the game was unplayable. Turned out to be a bad main CPU. That was an expensive fix.

yeah im running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit with WoW: currently having a glitching issue while on WoW but its not a OS problem. if u have the glitching issue please post here http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=13909424446&postId=139073338481&sid=1
