Cannot Login

[Demiurge 0]

After I have changed the realmlist and I try to login this is the error I recieve: 

 

The application has encountered a critical error:

 

ERROR #132 (0x85100084) Fatal Exception 

 

The instruction at "0x643D5DE5" referenced memory at "0x0000001C"

The memory could not be "read"

 

Has anyone come across this error? I am on Windows 7,  have an I-5 with 2.60GHz, 8GB ram and a 64-bit OS

First make sure your wow folder is anywhere other than in program files.  Second, right click on the wow.exe and set to operate as administrator.

Sadly those steps did not work.  I can get it to boot open and can hear sound but all I see is a black screen.  Shortly after I get the error message.

oh it was in his beginners guide  : P

 

Troubleshooting

 

Remember that you cannot run WoW from inside an archive, you must extract it properly first. Read above how to do that.

 

If WoW refuses to start at all, you might need to run it as Administrator. Right-click on the file "wow.exe", go to properties and in the window that pops up, toggle "Run as administrator" on. Save, close and try again.

 

If you get a complete blank screen at launch, but you can hear music, the problem is with your graphics settings. New computers might not have DirectX9 installed and later versions of DirectX miss some functions of that one. Microsoft still offers it as a free download, so get it and install it, see if that fixes your problem.

 

If you cannot save realmlist.wtf file after editing it, you probably installed WoW under Program Files. Move it elsewhere and try again. If the problem still persist, right-click on the file, click properties, and toggle "Read Only" off at the little window that comes up.

 

If your problem isn't listed here, please check out our Help & Support forum. Search it first, in case someone else has had your exact problem - if not, please make a thread and we will try to help you.

Thanks for the replies but none of that works.  It runs on my pc just fine but for some reason wants to hate on this laptop.

Well, error 132 is really a catch all for all kinds of problems.  a lot seem related to driver...imma go get my troubleshooting guide from Nostalrius, I know I put other things about 132 in there.

 

Didn't want to cut and paste it all.  go down to item 10 and there's a whole mess of ideas there.

ths was a quick and easy one that often had good results:

 

 

Error 132: Right click on wow.exe. Select> troubleshoot compatibility. Select> try recommended settings. Select> start the Program.
