Recently Wow has started to crash after i alt tab, then tab back into the game..


I can sit and play normaly, then i alt tab to read the forums or something.. I tab back in and after some seconds/minutes(random every time) my WoW crash and i get a windows error message just saying WoW have to close.. Not the normal blizzard error you get when u get error #132 etc...

this started 2 days ago.

Hi Ather,

Firstly, try making sure that nothing running in the background is interfering with the game in any way. To do this, run Windows in a Selective Startup. A guide to running in this mode is here:

The next thing would be to try making sure that you are virus free. Some free Virus checkers are available here:
