My BF and I both play GW. His computer, on Vista 32, can log into both his account, and mine, which we checked after a while.
My computer, on Win 7 64, cannot log into either account (it gives me the maintenance message).
We both have the same settings and nothing unusual for GW.
Is it possible the small patch for maintenance messed something up for Win 7?
Can I erase the patch and force it to redownload it? (I don't think -image does that does it?)

Blizzard call center? Literally, just that, and the phone was constantly busy. "Call back later" "Call back later", this went on for a week. When I finally got through to them, it was a guy who honestly sounded like he wanted to come through the phone and strangle anyone he wished to talk to, but was struggling to be polite.
He promised to check into my matter, read my tickets, etc..and then a week goes by, another week..nothing. The matter was never effectively resolved by Blizzard yet they had no issues whatsoever about continuing to take my money and charge me for game play that I couldn't actually participate in throughout all of it.
In the end, nothing was done and the most I ever got from Blizzard was, "We're looking into it, but cannot talk to you about it, so..don't bother us", basic reply and to me, that's horrible customer service...
New pets released for free? Before the Blizzard store, yes. After the Blizzard store, less likely. You pay 10-15 euro for them now. Blizzard used to give out pets to each character you logged in on during their anniversary, last year they gave everyone a spam mail into the in-game mailbox that told us, "We released two new pets this year! Buy them each in the Blizzard store!"
Servers are down every Tuesday, and rarely do they do rolling restarts so that they're up for Tuesdays. Wow also has several micro-emergencies, entire hubs of servers down for hours without a reason. Sometimes, after a patch, the game functions poorly for a week or so, including multiple extensive downtimes.

Every Tuesday the servers did go down but the 3 servers I played on were always back up at 11 am. There were 2 or 3 problems with patches but they were ironed out within 2 or 3 days and I didn't mind waiting with the little bit of lag, it didn't stop me from raiding.

So it's not Vista vs. Win7 that's the problem.
And it's not 32 bit vs 64 bit.
What else in common?
Getting the maintenance message doesn't feel like a hardware error, but I'm running ATI HD 6850, i7-2600, 8gb (no overclocking whatsoever).

This is most likely due to regions players are in and not the OS. I think you all should state which area of the USA your in or the country if not in the US. might give us some perspective of what the problem is.

It's a fact, Malice B changed his avatar from a baby head on an ice cream cone cup and the world started to go to hell.

Omg.. so much better. You are not allowed to change anymore. System.Fan has to keep his too. They're cheery!
Swingline
sigh... still can not log in and my buzz is wearing off.

Why don't they fix it already.... it shouldn't be hard, if half the people can already log in

I'm able to log in no problem, but all of a sudden my TexMod (Cartographer Made Easy) isn't interfacing with the game correctly... I only get the standard GW maps.
