So one of my xmas "presents" (i knew i was getting it,since i picked it out..) was a new Toshiba Satellite laptop..It came preloaded with all sorts of fancy things,including vista home premium..
I wanted to get my laptop up fast as possible,so i did exactly what I did with when my dad did when he wiped the HD of the computer and reinstalled XP,I put my entire WoW directory on my portable HD and copied it over and made all the shortcuts.I did the exact same thing with my laptop.Except im running into problems.
WoW Will NOT detect my interface addons,even though the interface folder is in the directory in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\
And I just ran the WoW Repair tool and now its saying that WOTLK isnt even installed on my computer.
Ive been told that copying it into the Public folder will work,but also that the Public folder is covered by some Vista protection thing,and thats why people are getting hacked left,right and center.
Would this fix the problem?And in doing so would it create more problems (such as my account being hacked)Or is there a way to fix this problem without having to move my WoW directory from Program Files to the Public folder??
Any help with this would be appreciated beyond words.
(Ive never used Vista before,thats why theres alot of newbie questions)
EDIT: ive just been told that CTMod has a security vulnerability and thats why blizz made the motd about accounts being hacked, and that deleting all of my CTMods and running a virus scan would be a great idea.Im not 100% sure if this is true or not,so I thought I would throw it in this post anyways to see if anyone could verify this :D.
