Its the RAM problem. I used to have 512 MB and it used to take a full minute to get to desktop. Min is 1 GB RAM. However, I choose to install 2 GB and now the alt+tab response is almost instantaneous. The more the merrier and this is for a WinXP system.

i think this will help
go to ur wow folder (etc: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft) There should be few folders there, look up for WTF, Cache and Interface. Rename all 3 with extra "-OLD" on it. (etc: "WTF-Old," "Cache-Old," and "Interface-Old." Restart ur pc after tat... and turn on WoW normally again... WoW gm thought me this way whenever something is wrong with ur WoW. It works more like a reset button for ur wow, except u dont need to reinstall everything this is the real mail that gm send to me ---------- Thank you for contacting the World of Warcraft Game Master Department. After some research it appears the issue you are having may be related to your User Interface (UI). This applies whether you have a custom UI or not. To help resolve this issue we recommend the following steps: 1) Exit the World of Warcraft to your desktop by logging out of the game and exiting. 2) If you used an "installer" for a custom UI, see if it has an "uninstaller" and use it. 3) Inside the World of Warcraft Program Folder, rename the "WTF," "Cache," and "Interface" folders to "WTF-Old," "Cache-Old," and "Interface-Old." 4) Restart your computer. 5) Make sure that you are using WOW.EXE or LAUNCHER.EXE to start the game. Please do not run any UI installers beforehand, as we want to eliminate them as part of the issue. If these steps do not resolve your issue, please submit a new In-Game ticket and we will attempt to assist you further. Thank you again for contacting us. We hope you continue to enjoy your experience in World of Warcraft! *** Please do not respond to this email as all conversations on this matter would be best handled online. ** ---------- |

I dont think it is the ram prob, I got 3g of ram, 256mb graphic card, 3ghz duo core atc etc.
I still get error sometimes when I alt+tab and wow just shut down. QUOTE(nagflar @ Jul 2 2007, 08:06 PM) QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Jul 2 2007, 08:31 PM) Its the RAM problem.

Ya it was a common problem with me too.
I have like 1.5gb ram and still crash. Then, i went to wow tech support forums to search. They say clear WTF folder n it miraculously worked. I think there is something got to do with your addons saved settings. |

well, addon settings are one but could be also the blizz files, for all you know.
the only thing i hate about deleting the WTF addon is having to redo all the addon settings all over again. |
