The Error 132 is a vague error message that is reported when something went wrong that was unexpected and not previously documented. This error can exist due to the actual code being faulty or system instability. This was the first type of error that was created when WoW was made. The other types of errors in this thread were once Error 132s before they were isolated and separated as to their individual causes.
It is important to separate an Error 132 that happens before recent patches against those that happen after.
As an example please note this particular Error 132 that can occur before WoW is patched:
Q u o t e:
ERROR #132 (0x85100084)
Program: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:00604D73
The instruction at "0x00604D73" referenced memory at "0x00000054".
The memory could not be "read"."
After recent patches this error will appear as:
Q u o t e:
World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration
