If you are receiving the "Unable to Validate Game Version" error message, then either you are not running the latest version of the World of Warcraft/Burning Crusade, your game files have been modified in some way, or the servers are undergoing maintenance.

It is possible that you may have a virus or program which is modifying wow gold files on your computer. Please first ensure you are launching the game using the Launcher.exe which can be found in your World of Warcraft folder (default location is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft). If you are receiving this error as of the 2.0.1 patch, please make sure you first run the Kaspersky and AVG Anti-Virus Programs. These can be obtained from the links below:

- Kaspersky

- AVG Free

If you are still having problems after scanning your system for trojans/viruses, we also have a repair utility that can check your files and replace any files found to be corrupt. You can get the latest version available here. Note: The repair utility is only available for Windows systems.

Note: With the cheap wow gold release of 1.8.0 the repair utility (repair.exe) can now be found in the main World of Warcraft game directory on your hard drive.

Another program that some players have been having success with is called Fix Wareout, it is number 18 on the list. It is a utility that scans for many popular Windows hijacks that can occur, and that many antivirus and spyware programs cant or don't detect.

If you still continue to buy wow gold and receive this error, we will need you to fully reinstall the game before trying to log onto the game servers again. After fully uninstalling the game and removing the game directory from the hard drive, please reinstall the game and connect to the game server. It should download the latest patch automatically, and once it has applied successfully, you should be able to buy wow gold log into the game again without error. NOTE: Macintosh users will need to do a full reinstall of the game.
