WoW Problems

I just got WoW and it is great. Its so addicting, I got it yesterday and Im up to level 9, almost didnt make it to work. But I have a weird problem with starting the game. When I start the game it opens and immediatley minimizes by itself. When I try to type in my account info the darn thing keeps minimizing. Any ideas why it keeps doing this? Once I get logged into the world everything runs fine. Btw, im an orc hunter named Runer on the Illid server.

Do you have any other applications running when trying to open Wow, I have the same problem when I have windows media player busting out some tunes and I try to open up FarCry or Unreal2K4. In my case, if I close windows media player the games boot up fine, w/o minimizing.

I close almost everything. I close aim, my firewall, msn messenger, quicktime player. I pause folding at home and snooze my anti-virus. The only thing I really have running in my task tray is an ati icon for my display settings and a sound manager icon and an icon for FAH and antivirus.

Instead of pausing F@H I started just quiting it and havent had the problem. Seems like maybe F@H was keeping WoW from starting up right. Any way this game is great so far, we should start a pcmech guild!

There used to be a PCmech clan a few years ago when Tiretool was the moderator. Several people belonged but then it sort of fizzled out over time. A PCmech guild might be interesting- I might even start up my lvl 56 warrior again.
