Warcraft III Frozen Throne compatible with Vista?

Posted: 11-08-2007, 07:17 AM

Hi! i had warcraft 3 frozen throne long time ago with windows xp. Then i
made the mistake of upgrading to windows vista home premium. Now i
installed warcraft 3 reign of chaos and warcraft 3 frozen throne.
Everything went fine i played frozen throne for a few hours. But then i
turned off my computer to go to work then when i got home and tried
playing frozen throne it gives and error message when im trying to
connect to battle.net it tells me "there was an error writing to your
hard drive while trying to download a file from battle.net you may need
to free some space. Please check your hard drive and try again. My
warcraft 3 reign of chaos and warcraft 3 frozen throne is up to date i
got the version 1.21. I don't know what happened but it was fine for
the first time i played. Any help would be appreciated. Btw i have alot
space still on my hard drive. Thanks.

Right-click on the shortcut or the executable and select Run as
administrator, it sounds like its trying to download something to the
Program Files directory, maybe a Battle.net update or something and is
failing to write as it doesn't have write access by default.
