Maybe you need a new keyboard where the Shift key(s) work so you can correctly select a "mode" within your game used for swimming in water. Maybe the keymap for the game uses the comma character and that key doesn't work on your keyboard. >;-)
More likely is that you have an old video card with too little memory. Check the hardware requirements for the game. Could be, for example, that it requires 32MB as a minimum and you only have 16MB, or less, on your video card. If you are using onboard video instead of a video controller card, you might have robbed too little system RAM to use as video RAM, or the game just won't work with the onboard video. By the way, many games will fail or exhibit problems with video controllers on the motherboard so allocating more system RAM as video RAM will not help.
Doesn't the vendor of WoW provide a forum where users can assist each other? Hold on ... yep, Blizzard has user forums, one of which is technical support forum. You might find a more focused community over there that better knows the game and its abnomalties and its hardward requirements. Of course, they won't be able to tell you if your hardware is deficient for playing WoW unless you actually tell them what hardware you have. While Blizzard has their tech forum, you might want to try http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/.
