Repairing isn't really reinstalling, you should try uninstalling and reinstalling.

[Rohi]

Uninstall reinstall should work, if doesn't, come back.

OK! i fixed this problem, I searched upp "Startup_Strings.dbc" on google and found out that many ppl had this problem and this is how to fix it:

1:You go in your data folder
2:You delete your Patch.mpq
3.You run Repair.exe from wow folder
4.It says it serius dammaged and need 2 go back to patch 2.0
5.You press OK and after 20min its fixed!!!

Hope this helps if someone else has the same problem
