First happened on my m11x.. click to open world of warcraft and nothing happens. even running it as an admin. Now I have an M14x and installed it and its up to date.. open it and NOTHING. no windows.. no login screen just nothing happens.

I tried running as admin nothing happens except asks me if it wants to allow changes to this computer (which i put yes). This is really annoying. turned on the wifes mac.. click wow and it opens up no problem.

I am getting so sick of having popups and permission boxes and blah blah blah.. why wont mac just make a gaming machine with proper mouse acceleration already.. alkfsdjksdajflksdajflkjsdalk

Does WoW start up normally if you double click wow.exe in the folder where it's installed (\users\public\WoW is the default)? My launcher was buggy and never launcher, always had to launch it from the .exe when I played.
