A new computer? Hard disk full?

Where did you buy this computer from?

I mean, it could have a ton of preloaded extras on it, but I've never heard of enough to stop Warcraft3 from being installed on a new computer.

nothing is wrong with it...the computer is running windows 7 right?

WC3 is temperamental software...just make sure you right click the launch icon and press "run as administrator" then you will not see the error again.

edit: you will have to run as administrator every time you open up WC3

somewhere in settings you can make it so you run all programs as administrator.

I don't think running it as admin would fix anything really. And setting it so all programs run as admin is a surefire way to get a virus.

Believe it or not, there are better Operating Systems than Windows 7.

But yeah, take it to the store.
