Game won't open - Nero - 08-26-2015
So, basically...
I used to play normally, but today I can't open the client at all. I try to open it, and it simply won't - I tried running as an administrator and it opened for half a second before closing again. Did the same with compatibility mode, nothing. How do I fix this?

So! Theres some missing details!
Are there any error messages?
Have you tried restarting your computer?

No error messages at all, it simply either doesn't open, or closes immediately after being ran as administrator.
Yep, I did! I have absolutely no idea of what happened, because I played normally earlier today, now I can't even open it >_>

Check WoW/Errors folder and if there are files what were created at relatively same time as your crash-to-desktop (CTD) happened, then upload latest .txt file dump on sites like [url="https://mega.nz/"><s></s>https://mega.nz/, then provide a link in your reply.
Addition questions:
- Where is your WoW located? Some folders on your storage have tighter security settings, what may prevent WoW working correctly. Best place to have WoW at would be at the root of your storage drive (e.g. under C:/).
- What are the contents of your WoW/Data and WoW/Data/enGB? WoW/Data should look like this: [url="http://i.imgur.com/8svu7cf.jpg"><s></s>http://i.imgur.com/8svu7cf.jpg (screenshot doesn't include latest custom patch wow-update-base-18549.MPQ, which should also be there). WoW/Data/enGB should look like this: [url="http://i.imgur.com/AZqtAUH.jpg"><s></s>http://i.imgur.com/AZqtAUH.jpg
- Have you tried deleting both caches (WoW/Cache and WoW/Data/Cache)?

Suddenly, it's working again. I have absolutely no idea of what happened, though all I did was delete the cache folder in the main folder.
Also, my WoW is in a folder at my desktop and that's it..
Game won't open - Nero - 08-29-2015
And suddenly, it stopped working once again. I tried to delete the cache folder, as per suggested, but it didn't help. I have absolutely no idea of what is causing this...
It's working again. I'm starting to become annoyed, it literally stops working for no reason, then is working just fine. Has anyone ever experienced something like this?
