This may be a daft question but did you grab the 64bit beta drivers by
mistake?
Try www.guru3d.com for the latest nvidia drivers

Hey there, I'm having the same problem with WOW. I have Vista and GF 8500GT card and 2GB of RAM as well as 50% freespace on my hard drive. Everything on my computer has been working fine up until a couple of days ago when my WMP started chopping out really bad, then my fiance trying to play WOW was impossible as well. I've tried everything, freeing up space on the hard drive and reformatting after downloading all the latest drivers from the guru site as well as cleaning my registry using power suite, taking a look at my firewall, etc... There are a million things I've tried over the last few days and nothing has worked. After cleaning the registry he could play WOW for the entire night with no problem. The next day it was back to chopping out again. I just can't figure out why everything else is working fine except Windows Media Player and WOW. VLC media player works fine so thats what I've been using, but I never had a problem with WMP until now. I have a list of some more stuff to look into like "UI Junk? WOW add-ons, Xperl unit frames? Mods and bandwidth." As well as maybe the cpu or gpu is overheated but I don't think so, I have lots of fans and it is a fairly new card. Please help me, I am sooo lost!
