Uhh...Graphics Card? Hard Drive space? Honestly I'm not quite sure cause the minimum requirements are pretty low, hell you can run WoW with a low end processor and 512 worth of RAM without any real major issues.

Take a screen shot and post it up, Surely it says what requirements you're missing.

You should meet the minimum requirements...you can run WoW with a cardboard box...

Try asking on the WoW forums, they're much more likely to be of help than us.

How much space is available on your hard drive?

 

[sneakypenguin]

You should be able to install it anyways, I don't meet the minimum requirements for wrath of the lich king but it plays. You will just have low frame rates in cities, and about 15-30 elsewhere.

Unlikely I know, but it could potentially be the amount of RAM, don't know how much it needs to run TBC or WotLK on a Windows 7 machine. If it is that, it should still run, but there will be latency issues and stuff that you can't do anything about.

It happened to me with an older XP computer, and it ran fine, just lagged in the 25 man raids, and DC'd a lot as well in them. Ran fine for levelling and all of that stuff, just didn't like the raids...

You should never run Vista with less than 2 gigs of ram. It just doesn't work right. I'm not a huge fan if Vista anyway, even though I use it, but ram is a huge issue. They don't even recommend installing it on a system with less than 2 gigs. Add memory or change your os.

WoW these days is a pretty RAM-hungry game; 1gb is really pushing it unless you want to run it in 32x32 in black and white.

Whoops! How the heck did I get Vista out of that? You system requirements seem fine for WoW. Overkill in fact. Have you checked online for current video drivers?

Video Drivers are the software that makes your graphics card run.

I'm pretty sure you can get the latest version of them for your graphics card here:

just download it and install it.

The easiest way is to simply google the video card or go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest version (highest version number). Unfortunately, you'll have to read the descriptions fairly carefully, since occasionally there are different versions for different operating systems. Usually it isn't a big problem, but it never hurts to check. Once you run the update, it's best to reboot and try the game install again to see if it accepts everything now.

BC significantly predates windows 7, so perhaps their check program doesn't recognize your version of windows. If you have any problems after updating your video drivers, contact Blizzard tech support and see what they suggest.
