What are your system specs,? What does the game require? How do you connect to the Internet?

-
To check your system specs, do this for me... Click on Start -> Run... In the run box, type dxdiag ... You may nee a small gray box appear. Just click on the no button fore now... You will now see a large gray box appear.. This displays all of your system information...

800 MHz or higher CPU
256 MB or more of RAM

4 GB or more of available hard drive space
DirectX® 9.0c or above
A 56k or higher modem with an Internet connection
---------------------------------------------------------------
Does your computer meet or beat these requirements? I want to know what version of Direct X you have, your video card information, and also what your processor speed is...

Processor information can be found be right-clicking on the My Computer Icon, and clicking on Properties... (Give it a minute to load)

Do you experience lag related issues when playing offline as well?

Tell me about your video card... What do you have? My guess is that your video card does not meet the requirements for the game...

-
no i dont think my video card does meet the reqrements but my mom is gonna probly get a better one and get some more RAM and maby that will make it work
(i hope)
-
Well, I can't say this for sure, but it sounds like you just need a batter video card... Also, more RAm would be nice as well! Just make sure that your omputer can handle that much RAM, and that it is compatible with your video card...

maybe a server problem......maybe spyware/virus// trojans/remote access or networking ??is it net networked>>>.........try an adsl......speed test to check upload /download speed....or type ping after the cmd prompt....like ping www.bbc.co.uk this should display packets sent ...packets lost.....
-
my video card is a NVIDA GeForce4 MX 440
-
that might be my video card im not sure
-
http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedtest.asp do the test.........for net speed......
-
Also, for the card, I am more interested in how much memory is installed on it rather than the model... Do you know how much memory the card has?
[glb]Flame[/glb]

If you experience more problems with your computer, other than with Warcraft, have the computer taken a look at by those who install the new videocard and/or RAM.
If this only applies to World of Warcaft, visit the World of Warcraft forum.
