I have recently installed the 64 bit windows 7 beta and started using this operating system. I have installed Warcraft 3. Had no problems with installation, however, when I try to open the program, the program stops responding and I have to use the task manager to end the program. It says "the program has stopped working". I'm not sure why this is happening.

Maybe try Compatibility Mode.

Right click on the WOW shortcut and select "Properties", then "Compatibility"

It should look like this:


I'd give XP-Service Pack 2 a try.

Let us know how it goes.

And welcome to the board.....:hello:

Drat!

It just may be the fact you're running 64-bit and WOW doesn't like it. thedrunk started a games thread https://www.w7forums.com/drunks-game-list-t1039.html, and he says he got WOW to run but I am sure he uses 32-bit.

I found a really long Windows 7 and WOW thread in the WOW forum (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=16474156609&postId=168661590399&sid=1#0l)

Maybe there's something in there that will help.

actually its warcraft 3, not WoW. But maybe if the problem is the 64 bit system, the same solution will work.

I'll check out the thread. Thanks :)

Sorry, I didn't even know enough to know that I didn't know that there was a difference between the games. :eek:

I've heard that you have to change something in the registry or something. Sorry for the lack of information. Hope this helps.

I have just bought a new computer with an new I5 processor and Intel HD graphics card with 4gigs ram, shouldn't be having a problem. I am seriously thinking of returning the PC and buying another newer Mac.

Hello,
I run World of Warcraft - newest expansion Cataclysm with no problems.
Also, I have Warcraft III The Frozen Throne and I have no problems.
Using Windows 7 HP 32-bit.

Hmm.. I used to be a freak with these games.
Played them for 5 years.

Tell me, can you run the game and when does the crash happen?
