Black Screen

Hello,
when I start the game, my screen goes black, and then an error message (134) appears. Yet I have followed the tutorial to the letter, I do not understand where does the problem

this error could indicate your WOW installation is corrupted, this can happen.
I have seen on the forums other users with similar issues and was gone after redownloading the game.

please try to re download it first.

Sounds like one of two things to me.

1) WoW installation is corrupted (more likely)
2) Your WinSock and/or TCP/IP stack in Windows is corrupt. Do some research on running a scan with the System File Checker (SFC) to see if corrupt files are found and fixed. You could also try reinstalling your OS completely.
