Can you take a screenshot of the error for me to take a look at?

I play that game, send me a screenshot and I will be abe to tell exactly what the issue is.^_^

Had some patching problems myself.

If you had to do a soft restore or something and are restoring a patch you already had at one point, WoW won't let you re download the same patch twice and each patch leacves a kind of footprint on your computer so that that can't happen.

You may have to completly uninstall and re install.

But like I said screenshot me the problem.

i can't do a screenshot (don't know how) but i copied the text:

An error was detected while verifying the contents of the file "C:\Program\World of Warcraft\Data\expansion.MPQ". There may be a problem with your system, or with the drive at C:\. You can attempt to install again. If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.
To check this installation for problems, click the "Repair" button. The Repair tool can automatically fix many update errors.

I used the repair tool but it said something about a connection to server failed or something like that
