There is a file missing from the install, for some reason, on SOME peoples' computers.
If when you try to log in to the game, it keeps giving you an error message, please go to your retail install, and copy the file "Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest" into your beta game folder.
this DOES fix the problem.
For some odd reason, on one of my computers I could easily log-in to the beta, but not on my second computer.
It wouldn't even go to the authenticator screen, just immediately after entering my password it would give me the error message with the link to Blizzard for how to reset your modem and a bunch of other bullsh** that doesn't work at all.
So don't stress out. Just copy that single file. It will work.

A bit of palindromic wisdom:
"Step on no pets!"
Casual player.. don't raid, don't PvP. Suffer from extreme altitis
I love pets - combat or non.
