    Hello, I am trying to install World of Warcraft on my laptop, it's an Inspiron 1720 that came pre installed with Vista.
    When I got the laptop, I did what they told me to create a user name and pw, which I use every time I log in my laptop.

    Altho tonight I got this message,
    The file "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft.temp\Data.temp\enUS.temp" could not be renamed to "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft.temp\Data.temp\enUS". (ConflictManager::ResolveConflicts/1)

    After googling, I found out i get that message because i am not an admin.

    I thought that the name and pw I created was admin, as it's the only one I have.

    There was saying something also about how c: program files is protected and coudn't install anything on it. Is it true??

    I would like to know how to fix it.

    Thank you

    Do you get the message when trying to run the program? Try right-clicking the shortcut/program file, and selecting "Run as Administrator" (or something like that).

    What exactly are you right-clicking? Any shortcut that I right-click comes up with "Run as Administrator" (it's the third from the top). Could you send a screenshot?
