Corhen,

The most common reason this error message would show up is a corrupted temporary file inside of World of Warcraft. The temporary files can become corrupted if the game doesn't shutdown properly, the computer doesn't turn off properly, or if you play the game with addons.

To resolve the issue, with the game closed please try deleting the cache folder out of your World of Warcraft directory. This is a temporary set of files that will be recreated by the game the next time you launch. For a step by step guide for removing these folders for your operating system, please visit http://us.blizzard.com/support/article/25390. Once the folder has been deleted, try the game once again to see if this has helped.

If that does not completely resolve the issues, follow the instructions linked above exactly as directed, for the cache, interface, and wtf folders. This will reset your game settings back to defaults.
