Hey, when I first bought the game World of Warcraft. I installed it booted the game up, and it gave me graphical distortions.. Then it told me to update my graphics card which I did from www.nvidia.com, Then it worked fine..

Well my cousin did something to [profanity is not allowed, thanks] my computer up, So I had to re-format my whole computer.. Once again, I installed world of warcraft, gave me graphical glitches, So I went to Nvidia.com and downloaded the update, When I was installing, about half way through it dissconnect from my internet.. and when I try to reconnect it says being used by another source or something.. Then when I exit out of that alert message, It continues installing.. It says finished successfully.. and told me to reboot my computer, Well I did, and started up World of Warcraft again.. still graphical distortions.. Could it be from the internet being disconnected??

Please help asap, thanks!

Graphical distortions? Does your video card have a fan on it? Make sure the fan is spinning because the only time I've had graphical distortions is when I burned out/scratched the GPU

I would recomned redownloading the drivers again. I have had a problem in the past(my old video card) they stopped supporting it and the drivers made it worse...so if you have an older Gforce 2(which I don't even think WoW works with) that might be the problem.

In response to Dark_Shadow_Ninja
Does the nVidia site offer offline driver installers?
If it doesn't, you could go get some firmware... like some Omega nVidia firmware. I know that the ATI Omega driverse are really good, not sure about the nVidia.
