728416 2008-12-12 22:06:00 Hello,

Last night I had World of Warcraft running and flipped the power switch to my computer instantly turning off the computer.
When I turned it on this morning and opened up World of Warcraft I found a problem. Whenever I minimize World of Warcraft using the windows key, it works fine until I try to click on World of Warcraft and maximize it.

If I simply click on it and let it go, it automatically re-minimizes.

If I click it and then move forward the second the game is maximized, it stays maximized.

If I right click on World of Warcraft and click restore, it maximized and stays maximized.

I have already tried taking out my WTB, WTF and interface folders and then testing for the problem to find that it is still there.

Thanks for your future help,

Josh Machol

And when I click on an icon on my desktop it seems to deselect itself, and when I hold the mouse button down to select multiple desktop items it stops the selection process about half a second after I hold the mouse button down.

728419 2008-12-12 22:35:00 Yea, that was my mistake. :/

Is there any way I can tell what was corrupted?

I'm sorry but that is really confusing to me. Are you saying that is what I would use to find the corruption?
