Hello and thank you in advance for your help.
Here is my problem:
When I die inside an istance, when my HP go below zero, wow freezs for 30-50 seconds, then the Release to graveyard button appears but I'm not able to click it because wow immediatly disconnects from the server..Logging in again I found my character death with the release button ready to be clicked.
The problem starts 2-3 days ago and I didn't add any new add on in that time.
Thank you for the support.

Things to do, in order:
Run the Blizzard Repair Tool.
Do a clean reinstall of WoW.
Read the sticky thread and provide full system specs if you need more help.

It's a little program you'll find in your wow installation folder. it has the word "repair" in it's name. Usually what it does is delete certain "superfluous" folders (your WDB-cache folder, your Interface-folder where your addons are, your WTF-folder where all your addons settings are kept) and reset your installation to 2.0.0 status making you reinstall all the patches up until 2.4.3 again.

Don't worry though... it'll let you pick which one of these actions you want it to do, so if you'd rather skip the reset to 2.0.0 you can do so.

I suggest backing up your Interface/Addons folder and your WTF-folder though. You might still have some use for them afterwards.

Now I haven't run the repair tool for a few months but it certainly never used to do any of that. It simply ran a hash check on all the data files and re-downloaded any corrupted sections.

Thank you for the explanation.
I will run the tool on the week end.
But I wonder if my problem is connected with add-on, FPS rate or mamory usage because using the titan panel add on I see that the frame rate is most of the time red (I uncheck some video perfomancies and the rate is better now, even if it's sometime red, specially in Shatt city and istance).
Regarding the memory usage, I see that it's usually around 45-50 MB and the "increasing rate" (dunno what is it) is always red.
Can this bad performances be the problem?

Possibly, that why I asked for full system specs :) .

Hi again,
I didn't run the repair tool because I hope that with the new patch the problem will be solved.
In the mean time I found that the problem apeears only in Black temple. I don't know if it happens in all the other 25 men istance , but for sure it didn't happen in 5 and 10 men istance. I got only once also the Error 132.
My PC:
Wind XP home edition 2002, Pentium 4,28 Ghz, 512 MB Ram.
Graphic card: NVIDIA Ge Force 4 Ti 4200 with AGP8x, new driver downloaded on Saturday.
If you think that it's necessary i will run the repair tool...
Thank you again for your help.
Regards

Why would you not run the repair tool? Your WoW needs repairing, it's a repair tool...

Because I Hope that with patch 3.xxx everythings will work again..But if you think this will not happen it doesn't make sense to postpone this action.

Repair tool run.
I did a backup of the addon and WTF folder.
Can I copy back now?
In the following day I will do a BT run to see if everythings work
