... despite the burning crusade being installed?

I'm on a brand new 24" 2.8GHz iMac running OSX 10.5.1 and the two
expansion races are greyed out. Blizzard just replied with an
astonishingly unhelpful form letter. Cheers Blizzard. Nice to see you
still suck (I was a Diablo 1 and 2 player).

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

You did register the expansion?

How? I entered the account key from the CD case when I installed. What
more is necessary?

Did you choose "upgrade account" when you loaded BC? Did you load WoW, then
BC?

Xymmie

I was never given that opportunity when I installed everything from the
battlechest at once before creating an account for the first time ever.

It turned out you can't install both WoW and expansion at once and have
it work. You need to install WoW, log into WoW, then install the
expansion, say yes when you're asked if you'd like to upgrade your
account (duh), and log in again. Fortunately Blizzard fails to mention
this or provide any way to upgrade your account if it doesn't work out.
Way to go Blizzard! It's refreshing to see things are as bad as they
were in D2.
