I've had vista installed on my laptop since I bought it about a year ago, and WoW runs fine on the computer when running in vista. However I've always had som problems with connecting to the wireless internet on my school, so I friend of mien told me to try ubuntu. So I installed Ubuntu alongside with my vista, and installed Crossover and wine to run windows applications. But wow started up as this screen who just crashed and I could do nothign about. So I added the "SET gxApi "opengl"" to the config.wtf file which solved that problem. But I still got a problem since the WoW login screen looks like this:

Warcraft 3, Heroes 5, Fable TLC and other games works just fine, I just can't seem to get WoW working, neither with crossover nor wine. Anybody got any idea to what might be wrong?

Did what that topic said, which resulated in my computer crashing right after the world of warcraft window opended. But i've also seen a so called screenshot of the color glitch, and it dosent seem as the same problem.

As far as I can tell you've not mentioned your video hardware or what drivers you have installed for it.
