A few days to The Burning Crusade and I decided to get rid of this

Since Blizz high all mighty said; reinstall it’ll fix it ;D I did. (after alot of troubleshooting earlier I decided I had to reinstall it now, in time for TBC). So a proper reinstalling was done. One patch down, works fine. Two patches down… “Hey, Honey I’m home!” Ever so Lovely Unable to validate, is back and ever as happy. So I proceeded to try some more troubleshooting. Either way I found out by myself that if I:
1) Rename wow.exe to worofhfwhatever.exe the game will login properly.
2) Yay you’re in, and you can download patches too! But wait… the downloader is looking for wow.exe. Bummer. And you can’t use wow.exe because you can’t login to get the patch in the first place.
3) Repair.exe now works! I used it while having wowshdretardedgame.exe.
4) It made a new WoW.exe
5) It worked fine to login! Patching and installing. Restarting game.
6) Validate problem is BACK ;D
7) Rinse and repeat to try above.
Your game account has expired. Please pay us more money so you can keep on trying to play this game lolololol.
9) Have no money on my visa card, it’s 17.00 a friday evening. No banks till Monday.
10) Lanny debatting on kicking things.
11) Lanny decides it’s not a good idea to get too frustrated over a stupid game, and that this is surely a Omen.
12) Goes to bed and locks the door because I dun want dad to come in asking noob questions.
13) 1h Later mom throws a fit at me locking a door in her house <_< she simple can't understand the words GTFO I’m angry >O
14) I’ll go to town on Monday, get some money on the card and hopefully get the patches by tuesday which is 16th <_> Aka TBC.
