What program did you use to extract it? Also, are you sure the torrent had completely finished downloading? It just sounds like something didn't extract correctly and it's reading things wrong.

I get this when i mess up with wow data files. Maybe some file didn't download properly and it's corrupt.

Or some program might be blocking your game.

Did you try running as administrator? Try also replacing the Wow.exe with this in case yours is somehow broken: www.smolderforge.com/extras/Wow.exe

If all that doesn't work, try unextracting again.
