Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

So I just got a account and I did everything and I did download the realm list but when I start it up I just get a black screen. Anything wrong?

Got the same problem here, i keep hearing the music tho but cant do anything, i tried with compatibility but nothing changed.

I see some problems with Nvidea graphics. The cure to which was updating drivers...if that's the case search manufacturer for updated drivers (should probably check for updated drivers regardless of manufacturer). I also see someone has worked around it by launching wow in a separate window instead of filling their monitor with the game. I'll keep looking around to se if I see anything else.

here is also a link to multiple solutions and symptoms across platforms:

and finally:

Go into your System settings, on the left column click on Advanced. Once in this new tab, look for "Graphics API" and set it to DirectX 9
