I have vista What I did was just like the other Os didnt follow the Vista instructions and it worked for me just fine.

Try just following the normal directions see if that helps if you havent already have it going.

Oh and welcome hope you can get it going.

welcome you need admin rights to save the realmlist once you have edited it in vista. hope to see you in game

how do u change the realmlist?

[Zambatuo]

Go to your WoW Directory on your computer. Its typically C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft. In that folder, look for a file called realmlist.wtf.

Double-click it, it might ask you what program you want to open the file with, if it does, Choose Notepad.exe.

With the realmlist.wtf open, change the part that says "set realmlist wow.logon.us.com" or something along those lines to "set realmlist warcraftmmo.com". With that changed, go to File > Save. If you have administrator on your Vista account, you should have no problem saving it. If not, it will tell you that you need administrator rights to change this file and it won't save.

If this happens, well, log into an administrator account and change the realmlist there.

To prevent the message all together, you can check your account type by going to Control Panels > User Accounts and looking at your account. If it says "Administrator" under it, you have the correct rights to access/change the realmlist.wtf. If it doesn't say "Administrator" then log into an Administrator account. (You should see the other accounts on that same list, one or more of them will say "Administrator" under them.) Once logged into the Admin account, go back to Control Panels > User Accounts, click your account and select "Change Account Type", change to Administrator, Log out of that account and log into your account.

If you have any questions, just PM me and I'll be glad to help more.

Hope this helps and look forward to seeing you ingame!

If you are still having trouble, I did it the slacker way. I went to my desktop and created a new Txt file and put the Setrealmlist on the first line then saved it as realmlist.wtf (making sure to take it off of Txt and putting it to Anyfile) Then I copied that into the WoW directory and it asked for permission to save over it. I accepted and it worked flawlessly. Changing it to your user account works just as well, but this was the easy way to do it and not make vista so pissed off. It doesnt like users or admins putting things or changing things in the program files directory (to prevent you from screwing up your computer)

Sup Sup, I had vista for awile but had to reinstall Windows XP because I kept getting errror messages and problems with my server.If you have Win XP you should prob reinstall it until Microsoft come up with something better.
