Hi Padwar

As you know the system is quite old. The processor is below the minimum for Classic and the Quadro graphics aren’t even on the scale. You will have issues.

What you might try is updating the Windows 7. Looks like the last time it was updated was 2015.

It looks like you have the most recent driver for the Nvidia Quadro - which is 2015 vintage.

Workint on an update right now. Do you think its impossible to run WoW with the specs i have? Would a new graphics card cure the problem? Or is it a mix of issues?
This is Padwar, on my other account.

I took a look at things here Padwar. A new video card would likely get you playing classic. The HP desktop has a 250 watt power supply which should be enough for a low power consumption card.

Any of the cards on this Newegg page would work:

Your local Best Buy would likely have something as well.

*You want a graphics card with minimum 2GB of video ram. Some of those cards only have 1GB - watch for that

Wow Classic was working fine on this laptop yesterday. Surface Pro II good specs. I’m now getting “Your 3D accelerator card is not supported by world of Warcraft. Please install and accelerator card with dual TMU support.” Why the change in the last patch? How can I resolve? Windows 10. Game will no longer start.

To add to this…non classic regular WOW runs fine………
