Just downgrade? No one is making you use windows 7

I want to absolutely make sure that there isn't any other solution besides downgrading before I actually do.

Blizzard doesn't update its (very) old games for newer OS's, which makes logical sense. The one to blame for SC:BW's incompatibility with Windows 7 is not Windows 7 itself, but Blizzard. Should Microsoft be responsible for perfecting its OS's compatibility with a very old game that another company made?

EDIT: As the guy below me said - simplest solution, partition hard drive and get XP

You can fix the color problem by using this adding a registry key that tells windows 7 to use a special compatibility mode for Starcraft 1.16 because out of the box it only knows about 1.14 and below.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/dxjq3iamm2c/sc116reg.rar

Inside the rar it has 2 .reg files, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. Just double click the appropriate one to add it to your registry. You can open them with textpad or notepad or whatever to see the contents of each one to see what they do.

This may fix your freezing issue or it may not. I still have freezing problems with the registry keys but it does fix the colour issues completely. I have no issues with windowed mode.

All credit goes to warlord_7 for working this out.

Alright, I guess my only choice is to downgrade to Vista/XP. Vista shouldn't have freezing problems, right?

Maybe, I've never heard of these freezing problems before. It could also have to do with your drivers so I can't be sure that a downgrade will work.

Alternatively can you partition a vista using something like vmware?

Windows 7 is written in an old code like the XP. So Windows 7 is pretty worthless to use now untill they upgrade the code and fix all the bugs.
