i installed warcraft and launch it then when i launched ( like getting into warcraft3 ) my screen turns black and then it goes out of warcraft and said warcraft 3 not responding .... can anyone help me out i saw other threads that warcraft3 was working on other ppl vista . but i dunno maybe they upgraded from xp to vista. i just brought a new computer and it came with vista already so maybe thats the reason or something like that.

i got nvidia geforce 7300 Le with 394 ram and i upgraded the driver but not sure if i upgraded the right one
so not sure thats the problem. i saw other ppl problems was maybe not having sound or something not running full force in warcraft3 but my problem is i CANT even run it : /

So i need a full detailed solution

Wait for new Vista Nvidia drivers, they seem to be causing problems lately.

what a bunch of BS im runing vista right now and it works flawlessly

make sure you have the latest directx (google dxwebsetup) and download and run that, and get 100.65 drivers and it should work.

i have vista home premium edition, and i can run wc3 frozen throne on it just fine. i did get the latest drivers from nvidia, and also did all the updates on vista, maybe that could help. point is, the game should work.
