Please show us the entire error.

If it's too long for the forum, link us to it on http://pastebin.com/


Edit: Move your World of Warcraft folder somewhere else.

You should never run a 64-bit program from \Program Files (x86)\.

here it is: http://pastebin.com/CHPxWYhp

Just move the folder outside \Program Files (x86)\ ?

Thanks in advance

The driver for your video card is responsible for the crash.

Please remove it then perform a fresh download and installation of it.

As for the folder, C:\World of Warcraft\ would be ideal.

False. If you read up on how the 32 bit emulator works and how x64 versions of Windows operate you will realize that doesn't matter where you launch the program from.

My WoW folder is in above mentioned folder, and I'm running it perfectly fine on a Win7 x64 system. If you drag the WoW folder into the "64 bit program files" and launch the 32 bit executable it will still work perfectly fine.

You can leave it at C:\WoW. As I said, whereabouts of the folder has no importance :). It doesn't matter :).

(It has importance if the program requires overly much administrative rights, but WoW doesn't so don't worry about it.)

Hi there,

It shouldn't matter where the game is installed (outside of certain folders, I wouldn't recommend putting it in the Windows directory for example)

However as said above, the cause does look like the Nvidia graphics drivers. What happens after reinstalling the drivers?
