Warcraft 3 won't start...

[Name_n]

OK, so I've recently been "updated" after trying to get into Battle.net today, there is a new patch from what I know

So after I update with this new patch.. I can't start Warcraft 3.

CD-ROM drive error.

Frozen Throne was unable to find War3.exe.
Please make sure your gmae is correctly installed, and that your Frozen Throne disc is in your CD-ROM drive, and try again.

that's the message it gives me whenever I try to launch Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne. Is it just my computer? I re-installed Warcraft 3 just for the sake to fix this and it still gives me the same message and will not let me launch the program.... what's wrong? ._.

It seems like many people have been having this trouble. This is a thread at blizzard tech support, you can check it out and see if it helps.

The blizzard forum seems to be down at the moment.

Before it did go down though, someone linked a fix which was to download and run this file:

A lot of people in a thread said it worked for them.

If you are that desperate to get it working, there's no harm in trying this fix. It is totally safe (from microsoft.com)

Hm.. seems like the forums are currently down.. but really appreciated the attempt for help =)

EDIT : Late reply... thank you emootootoo, but after downloading it (clicked "Run") and attempting to launch Warcraft 3, it still gives me the same message.. is there something extra you must do with this program ?_?

i reinstalled from scratch and it still dint work after update
Blizz released a bad patch LOL

 

[emootootoo]

Well you could try restarting your computer.

(People also said that worked)

And by running the program i meant installing.

 

[BlowingKush]

Ah... failure. I installed it and it still won't work ._. What is this thing's problem.....

But still, thank you for helping

 

[emootootoo]

Well it worked for me

I suggest restarting your computer or install the fix again.

I finally got the problem fixed... thank you =) Apparently I had to install it 3 times

 

[emootootoo]

Lol you had to install the fix 3 times? Weird.

Grats on getting it working.
