Sorry if I am a little vague my info came over the phone yesterday
My son has a new computer and he has been trying to install World of Warcraft.
The major problem is he is in Cornwall and I am in Morecambe he has told me that the game will not install it fails with error 38 whilst installing azeroth maps.
Firstly I told him to copy all the files off his cd’s and run the installation from the HD but it stopped in the same place.
I then told him to run a selective startup he said it got quite far with that approach but then it threw up a crc error.
The PC is an Imedia
With a P4 D 2.66
From PC world about £600
The odd thing is he has successfully installed the game last week on his mum’s laptop?
So I suggested that he should take it back to PC world and let them take a look at it!
Now comes the funny part
So he and his mum went back to PC world and asked for help and the assistant told them that the CD’s were OK but the PC they had purchased was just a too high spec machine with seventh generation GPU and a game like World of Warcraft was designed for use on a fourth generation GPU and they need to get a patch from blizzard
Am I missing something here?
