Hi. I got Vista Ultimate yesterday, and I had a couple problems which were easily fixed by just changing the resolution. My big problem is, though, that I can't install my World of Warcraft game. I get to the end of the second disk, and it gives me the BSOD. What the heck? It works fine every time until that point. It says the problem is with NVSTOR.SYS. Also, I installed it on a different hard drive (which worked fine by the way since it wasn't the drive running Vista) and it won't run it because it says that it can't reference the memory that it was written to. I don't have the exact error codes because I am not with the computer right now. Does anybody have an idea as to what I could do? I really want to play this game!!

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode for windows XP, to do this right click your DVD drive and click open locate the setup.exe (or something similar maybe WoW?) then click properties and select the compatibly tab from here you can set it to run as if it was installing on Windows XP SP2.

Let me know if this works.

Thanks! Ant

Well...that didn't work, but it ended up there was an nvidia driver that needed to be installed that wasn't on the list of drivers I already had installed...at least I think that was what it was. I left it working last night when I went to sleep and it shut down through BSOD...so I'm not sure exactly, but at least I got through the first installation of WOW. Thanks anyway
