account help much appreciatedFollow

hi guys i just got the CE WoW, and put the DVD disc in, once downloading finished, i restarted, and i was ready to play but when i started the game up, two problems occured, one was one that has haunted my comp for a while, the picture is only in a small part of the center of my screen. im sure i can fix this once i can set resolution but i would like to know any other solutions. the second problem was that when i clicked to "create account" i was directed to an odd page on internet explorer. can someone please give me a proper link or atleast tell me a way i can get the right page? thanks in advance.

Are you on an LCD panel or CRT? I know on my old laptop, it didn't blow up lower resolutions to fill the screen, just left a big black border around the picture and centered it.
