Try googling it, you can find out solutions for most problems "wow not start on XP" something like that.

The launcher uses the Internet Explorer engine to render the news. If something affects that, it may prevent the launcher from starting up. You may want to run a spyware scanner to see if anything odd is running. If you need one, try checking this page - http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=20569

what av and firewall are u using? and get some anti spyware, i recommend Malwarebytes and ad-aware.

Have you tried the Repair Utility (repair.exe) in the WoW folder? I'm not 100% sure on what exactly it checks (I've only paid attention to the .mpq files :p), but it may be able to identify something, and download a new copy of whatever is messing with the launcher.

I've runned it twice. Nothing.

SORRY FOR DOUBLE POST, BUT SOLVED!

Solvation: If this happen, copy your launcher, and DONT rename it to Launcher. Then start it. YAY!
