WoW is not working...

[Darth Revan]

K, here the story as far as I can tell. I bought WoW today from walmart, I go home install it, set up an account. Then I clicked the desktop icon and it loads to the screen where you type the account name and the password. It sat there for about 10ish min. So I go to WoW tech. support and email them and then do the troubleshoot. found out how to allow the "Blizzard Downloader" access through the Windows firewall. So I try loading WoW again and I let it sit therte for an hour. (went and watched TV) Came back and the box that says connecting was still there. In the lower left corner of the screen says this :Version 1.5.1 (4449) (Release)
Jun 9 2005

I assume that scince the web site said that 1.9.1 was out it needed to DL the patches. I can't find out if it is DLing or not. or is there a way to DL the patches manually?
Or am I wrong in assuming that it is patches?
Help!!!!
Thx

You can download the patches, manually here http://www.3dgamers.com/games/worldofwarcraft/downloads/ or just google them.

The current version is now 1.9.2

Prepare to be addicted.

4th down on that list is the full 1.9 patch. DL that, then use 1.9.0-->1.9.1, then 1.9.1-->1.9.2
