Third party programs/Vista causing problems on WoW settings? |
Ó
The problem actually concerns chat boxes' opacity. According to Forma, the opacity setting doesn't apply to the chat box when more than one is opened. Blizzard's Nickjs suggested that the problem might be caused by add-ons or temporary corrupted files in the WTF, CACHE, and INTERFACE folders from the World of Warcraft game directory.
If the latter is indeed causing the problem, what you should do is remove these folders entirely and recreate the Chat Windows. Nickjs also added that third party programs like custom UIs sometimes create these issues as well. The forum moderator also reminded Forma that Windows Vista has known issues with WoW.
Accordingly, when you installed the game in the C:Program Files or C:Program Files (x86) folder, the settings applied might not always turn out okay. A more detailed explanation is as follows:
- Resetting settings or settings that does not apply properly - Vista may deny you write access from the World of Warcraft folder if it is installed in the Program Files folder. You can remedy this by either right-clicking the game and selecting "Run as administrator" or to move it outside of the Program Files folder.
- Settings and mods that won't stay deleted - If you installed the game in the Program Files folder, Vista may redirect the game to look in another set of folders: c:Users<name>AppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram FilesWorld of Warcraft. It will save all of your custom configurations there instead of the C:Program FilesWorld of Warcraft folder. You can delete your settings by going to the folder above or moving the game outside of the World of Warcraft folder.
