    so i recently downloaded and installed World of Tanks and started playing. had lots of fun, died lots, but when i went to go play it again the next day, i got this error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

    so i uninstalled it and re-installed it and it worked again, but again, the next day it didn't work when i went to play.

    i don't want to have to keep uninstalling and re-installing the game, so if anyone knows whats wrong, please help

    try running it from it's main file. the error probably means the shortcut doesn't have permission to the file.

    this has happened to me before, after a while i just went away(dont know how) But what i did was install WoT on my external Hardrive and just move the .exe files over to the main folder.
