I'm here for a friend of mine
He has the official warcraft 3 cd's etc
No problems with installing everything looks good

He tries to start the game but after the splash he get's returned to the desktop where he suddenly has increased brightness :)confused:)

Can anyone help me (us)

If you need additional information please reply with what you need

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: So I asked him if he had any logs in Warcraft3/errors/

This is what he came up with:
Code:
This application has encountered a critical error:

FATAL ERROR!

Program:	c:\program files\warcraft iii\war3.exe
Exception:	0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:6F52CEF8

The instruction at '0x6F52CEF8' referenced memory at '0x00000000'.
The memory could not be 'read'.

Seems like a RAM error, is the person overclocking the machine in any way?
Is there enough available ram to play the game?
Is the ram good? (Try memtest overnight or if you have time)
Update all you're drivers accordingly.
Do other games act like this?


My first guess would be to update drivers. Then see if you have enough free memory to run warcraft. IF both of those fail and the computer is not overclocked you can also try flashing the bios, that may help in this kind of situation, but be careful as it can cost you if you fail (at least make sure the power stays on the entire time!).
