ive tried reinstalling, it worked once but after i exited the game and tried again it didnt work, i also tried repairing which didnt work!

[Jones4ever]

No, you don't need BC to play WoW

[foxfire60]

thats not what i meant, i meant do i need wow working to play tbc

[Marlo]

of course you do. TBC is an expansion of WoW so its only half a game. Try installing it to C:\programs ?

[Liania]

I had a problem like that once. I simply deleted my data folder, and next time I went to play it restored it. Try that, or if it doesn't work simply send blizz. call.
