Every time i go to launch the game, it keeps taking me back to the desktop screen, which the game minimized at the bottom. And when i click on the minimized icon, it throws me back to the desktop screen again. Can anyone help me?

Open the World of Warcraft Classic folder on your computer and locate the "WTF" folder. Inside the WTF folder, see if a file labeled "config.wtf" exists. If it does, double-click it and open it with Notepad. Search for the word "resolution" (I think it may be part of the setting "gxresolution" but I'm not 100% sure).

It should say something like "set gxresolution "XXXXxYYY" where X and Y is your monitor's resolution. What value does it specify for the X and Y? If it's something weird like "1366x768," try changing it to the resolution your monitor is presently configured for (Like 1920x1080 for example) and click "File" > "Save" then close the config.wtf file and try opening WoW again; see if anything different happens.
