Unable to Validate Game Version keeps poping up so downloading patch again didn't help and scan no viruse and used reapir that wow had and no luck. anyone know why not working ?
If that happened to me I'd probably reboot. If it still happened, I'd probably copy and rename my WTF folder in my WoW directory, and then create a new empty one, and then try running the game.
If after that it stil was giving me weird error messages, I might post on the Blizzard support forum. If I get no satisfactory response from that after a day, I'd probably uninstall and reinstall the game from scratch.

Oh also I'd confirm by logging into battle.net that your account is currrent and doesn't need to be reupped or have a new credit card put in or something.
If you are receiving the "Unable to Validate Game Version" error message, then either you are not running the latest version of the World of Warcraft/Burning Crusade, you are attempting to login with an unmerged WoW account, your game files have been modified in some way, or the servers are undergoing maintenance.
This error can occur if the World of Warcraft account you are trying to login with has not been merged into a Battle.net account. After November 11, 2009, you won't be able to log in to the game unless you merge your account with a Battle.net account. You will need to log in using your Battle.net account username (your email address) and password. To create an account please visit our Battle.net Account Creation page to begin the conversion. For information on merging a WoW account into an existing Battle.net account, go here.
It is possible that you may have a virus or program which is modifying files on your computer. Please first ensure you are launching the game using the Launcher.exe which can be found in your World of Warcraft folder (default location is C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft). If you are receiving this error as of the 2.0.1 patch, please make sure you first run the Kaspersky and AVG Anti-Virus Programs. These can be obtained from the links below:
If you are still having problems after scanning your system for trojans/viruses, we also have a repair utility that can check your files and replace any files found to be corrupt. You can get the latest version available here. Note: The repair utility is only available for Windows systems. Note: With the release of 1.8.0 the repair utility (repair.exe) can now be found in the main World of Warcraft game directory on your hard drive.
If you still continue to receive this error, we will need you to fully reinstall the game before trying to log onto the game servers again. After fully uninstalling the game and removing the game directory from the hard drive, please reinstall the game and connect to the game server. It should download the latest patch automatically, and once it has applied successfully, you should be able to log into the game again without error. NOTE: Macintosh users will need to do a full reinstall of the game.
