One of the more important things to keep in mind while playing World of Warcraft is to keep your chat boxes open. Needless to say, this option allows you to communicate with other WoW players for raids, general conversations, and whatnot. However, player Forma from the official WoW community forum claims that he's having some problems with the said feature since patch 2.1.
The problem actually concerns chat boxes' opacity. According to Forma, the opacity setting doesn't apply to the chat box when more than one is opened. Blizzard's Nickjs suggested that the problem might be caused by add-ons or temporary corrupted files in the WTF, CACHE, and INTERFACE folders from the World of Warcraft game directory.
If the latter is indeed causing the problem, what you should do is remove these folders entirely and recreate the Chat Windows. Nickjs also added that third party programs like custom UIs sometimes create these issues as well. The forum moderator also reminded Forma that Windows Vista has known issues with WoW.
Accordingly, when you installed the game in the C:Program Files or C:Program Files (x86) folder, the settings applied might not always turn out okay. A more detailed explanation is as follows:
- Resetting settings or settings that does not
apply properly - Vista may deny you write access from the World of
Warcraft folder if it is installed in the Program Files folder. You can
remedy this by either right-clicking the game and selecting "Run as
administrator" or to move it outside of the Program Files folder.
- Settings and mods that won't stay deleted - If you installed the
game in the Program Files folder, Vista may redirect the game to look
in another set of folders:
c:UsersAppDataLocalVirtualStoreProgram FilesWorld of
Warcraft. It will save all of your custom configurations there instead of
the C:Program FilesWorld of Warcraft folder. You can delete your
settings by going to the folder above or moving the game outside of the
World of Warcraft folder.
