Starcraft Problems

So, I've been having problems across the board with Starcraft and all the applications that go with it.

I run a legit copy of Windows Vista, on a dual-core laptop computer with 3 GB of ram. If anyone wants specific specs, I'll give them, but I personally think that all the fixes should (are going to) be software related.

First of all, Starcraft lags. It's probably Vista's fault and I run it in windows XP capability mode. I can even make games, but SC lags when I play with other people (even on Hamachi, for that matter - and on LAN games). I open up task manager and make it realtime priority, but it feels like a pretty temporary salve.

I run bw chart 1.03g and when I open up bwchart it gives me a "please wait while loading replays" dialog and a 15 second wait every time I open up a replay. Is there any other way to get rid of this? I looked in the settings and didn't see something likely. Should I be deleting replays? I'll throw out the comment that I have 2.3 gb of replays.

When I run chaos launcher, an error messages come up. It still runs, so I usually click through them, but it probably indicates that part of Chaos Launcher isn't healthy.
The error message is:
"Error in ApplyPatch in C:\Users\JohnSmith\Desktop\Chaoslauncher\\advldr.bwl."

Thanks in Advance.

Btw, I managed to get Starcraft on a Stick to work. Works great and it's very useful.

Delete that file?.

Are you running xFire ?, if you're there's an option in Xfire which makes SC LAg like hell.

Why are you running SC in XP Compatibility mode?. I have almost the same specs as you do, and I run it normally, without the compatibility mode or anything.

I'm running it in compatibility mode. It's weird, because I toggle some options (almost randomly) it works really well for a bit, then starts going haywire. Then I toggle some more options, then it works normally, then it starts lagging on me again.

It's lame because the only computers that have XP in my house are pretty slow and it's not very convenient to play.
