Try to overwrite your realmlist.wtf with this one:

http://www.wowrage.nl/realmlist.wtf (right-click -> save target as)

I can't seem to get it up and going? It tells me something is corrupt and or the realm list doesn't match the game or something in that area.

Did you try downloading and overwriting the realmlist.wtf from my precious reply ?

Yes I did. But nothing seemed to work. /sigh ..... Laptops.
I'm just going to switch to the desktop from now on.
Thank You for the help though.

Try to follow these steps:
Navigate to your wow installation folder -> right-click on realmlist.wtf and open using notepad

Remove the lines in the file and add "set realmlist realm1.wowrage.nl"

Save the realmlist.wtf
http://www.wowrage.nl/tut/realmlist/step3.jpg

Now run World Of Warcraft starting wow.exe from the same folder.

what happens if u sart it using the launcher  ?!? because i was over coming it crashing after selecting my chara and loading bar completes    so i reverted to the oldest patch i had and re downloaded the new patch to run and now all it says is i try to log in and it cant authenticate my name and or password and that if it was lost or stolen to go to wow.com
    oh and after it downloaded and updated (new patch) it tried to run wow through the launch thing   and rewrite  my wtf file but i fixed the wtf file and it still wont work   


sorry if i jumped around a lot ~
