    hello, as my title says i keep getting errors with world of warcraft either when im trying to install or patching. here is my dxdiag



    now the tech support for wow said i should run a windows memory diagnostic tool and i have , for 8 hours +/- and it found nothing wrong with my memory. i also ran the chkdsk command from RUN and it found 0 bad sectors but it did says " windows found problems with the file system" ,

    also let me post what errors i get from wow when i try to install/ patch

    this is 1 of the errors i got while downloading. -- An error was detected while verifying the contents of the file "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data\common.MPQ". There may be a problem with your system, or with the drive at C:\. You can attempt to install again. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.


    and this 1 i got also while downloading OR patching -- "The installer was unable to read the file "D:\Installer Tome 2.mpq". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at D:\--for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The data being read was "MPQs-1\FullInstallLK\Data#common-2.MPQ\World\Maps\Kalimdor\Kalimdor_31_38.adt", and the error code was 0.) If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (Converter::Load)"

    i have tried everything and the only problem seems to be those windows problem with the file system. i tried the command CHKDSK / R or something so it would fix it and it ran and appears it didn't fix so i hope someone can help me with this . thank you.

    thank you for answering me so quickly.i deleted my antivira anti virus and i was able to dl / patch the game up with no problem but now i get problems when i run there repair tool because it keeps fixing something everytime i run. and i tested this out by running that repair tool literally 10 times in a row and all times it found something to fix, also it keeps making me revert back to a previous version of wow. earlier on today i ran start/run/cmd/CHKDSK
    command and it showed that i have no bad sectors but it did say , "windows has found problems with the file system." so im wondering if my harddrive is broken , the really sad thing is i only had my computer a month its supposed to be brand new.

    It's an issue with data throughput , somewhere along the chain there's a corruption. You need to start with the process of elimination and reinstall WOW with new IDE/SATA cables with a new optical drive. Then check for packet loss before downloading the patches.

    In a shop this would be easy but if your in your home this may be difficult and possibly cost a bit, especially if it does not fix the issue!

    In this case I'd research PC Repair shops in the area , call and ask if they are savvy with WOW and gaming related issues and let them do the diagnosis which should only cost around 30 bucks or so. Then run with their suggestions because they will do what I'm talking about and you can spare yourself the headache.

    Also if your lucky enough to find a tech that plays WOW he would be more than happy to help a fellow gamer.

    Cheers and good luck mate!

    Did you build it or was it built by a manufacturer like HP or Dell?

    If it was built by a company I'd get on the phone and raise hell till they sent you another one.

    I know but hey , you bought it to specifically play WOW with and can't do that , so there's something wrong , you have tried a clean reinstall of Wow right?.

    o god man u got no idea wat ive tried already. i got wow 2 weeks ago and i tried installing the 3 disks and as soon as i started dling the first 1 it came up with an error at like 90 % complete so i was ticked but i finally pushed it thru till all 3 dled like 8 hours later with all the patches.. i then ran ther repair thing and it said my stuff was to badly damaged and i needed to reinstall it. so i did that around literally 7 diff times. today i just deleted my anti virus and turned of stuff from opening with windows that i wont need cept the important components, i dnno wats up , i just checked all my stuff is ok, both my memory sticks r the same brand/speed/ everything is how it should be so i dnno y the hell it keeps gettin currupted.. i really dnno. im at a loss man.. really am =\

    I bet it's a faulty optical drive or cabling , I'm 100% sure. but if that didn't fix it , faulty mainboard.

    I'd put my good name in our highly successful shop on it.

    Here's a link for testing the optical drive But a new DVD burner from newegg.com is hella cheap (order the cabling to) We sale them at our shop for 50$ after mark up with cables and that's a DL/DVD/CD Sony drive.

    Then reinstall WOW and the patches , I bet that fixes it.
