Hey Folks

just an FYI

I can't seem to get the game running.

When I start the client, it will minimize and return me back to the desktop.

The game refuses to maximize

I tried to update to the newest drivers and deleted and reinstalled the game with no luck

I am emailing support ( if that doesn't work its formatting time)

wish me luck =)

I had a problem this week where my icon stopped working. I had to delete it and get a new one out of the wow folder. Did you try and run the repair tool?

yeah I tried that, it downloaded a few files but still the same issue

I usually fix problems like that by removing the side panel from my case and then violently shaking the individual components (RAM, Video Card, etc.) Sometimes I stick my finger in the processor fan. If this fails to correct the problem, I'll put the side panel back on and then give it a really good kick. I usually have to replace a lot of parts, but it always works.

Got it to work,


What was the issue? I downloaded the beta drivers ( for the bioshock demo)

Thats when things got messed up.

I rolled back the drivers with no luck

I had to uninstall all drivers from my machine and install the drivers fresh

Wow thats crazy. I downloaded the beta ones and they worked fine. Do you have nvidia or ATI?

Nvidia Geforce 7900


I think for ATI its a hotfix

I second the Brendar tech support methodology, I find that shouting colourful metaphors also speeds the downtime.

I think I have the same ones. do you have them in SLI?

I think I have the same ones. do you have them in SLI?

It does but my case is way too small for SLI

Um, this is why I don't like to mess with drivers, especially for demos. In the other thread about the Bioschlok demo I said it runs like crap. Not going to mess with the drivers....

Glad you got things straightened out. I assume the full version of Bioshock runs fine now too?
