A couple of things I have figured out I thought I would share with you.
World of Warcraft doesn’t jam up your registry, if you get it all installed on a machine, copy the c:\Program Files\World of Warcraft folder to an external drive or make a DVD backup, then you can copy that to the new machine and save yourself the time of a complete install
This works well, when I upgraded my laptop from XP to Vista, I moved the entire folder to another hard disk and safely moved it back. Once you have it on the Vista machine, create a new desktop shortcut, right click it, choose properties, and select “Windows XP SP2 Compatibility mode” and “Run This Program as Administrator.” Now you will be able to update and play it just fine.
If you are playing on a nVidia based laptop, you can use my previous tutorial on installing GeForce Go drivers for Vista.
So there you go, Vista is humming along fine, so is WoW. I am getting around 60fps in windowed mode, I can live with that. See you online.
