Thanks for the advice. I finally got this sorted and just for the record (in case anyone else gets this problem) it turns out all I had to do was delete the WTF folder and then boot the game up , the game then creates a new one for you as you play and puts all your account specific preferences in there

OK Now I'm REALLY confused lol I've tried adjusting the main WoW folder on my desktop to read / write as you can see here [/img] But whenever I re-open the folder it reverts back to read only, which I find odd because, as you can see in the permissions tab, I have read and write permissions for the folder I decided to try and locate the exact folder in which game options and saved data is stored to see if I could adjust THAT folder at least and found out that the path should be World of Warcraft \ WTF \ Account \ < account_name \ SavedVariables Yet when I check my WTF sub folder in my main WoW folder, it is empty Do you have any idea where I could go from here because I'm at a loss :( I'd appreciate any help

I am already running the game from a folder on my desktop rather than from the programmes folder But thank you very much for the info, I shall look into it :)

I have customised a few settings (video, key bindings, macros etc) but when I log out of the game they don't seem to be saving because the next time I log on everything has reverted to default. I have tried a few 'fixes' I found on other threads including running the game as administrator, but it doesn't work. Can anyone offer any advice please? (I am running the game on Win7) As a side note, every time I log on to the game I have to re-sign the user license agreement and it also plays the opening cinematic (as if it's the first time I have played the game) Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

That'll probably be why then. Thanks for the info, I'll try one of the others (It's the realm the game selected for me though so I presumed it would be ok)

I've just finished installing the client, changed the realmlist WTF file etc. The game loads up ok but it won't let me create a character, I go to "Create new character" then select the race, class and customise the look and name of the character but then when I click on the " accept " button I get a message saying " Character deletion failed " does anyone know what is causing this ? I'd appreciate any help / advice Thanks
