It's in your video card settings, there should be a "Fixed aspect" ratio or something as such in there.

If that doesn't work, it may be that your monitor stretches it, so you should look into that as well.

Yes, there are quite a few problems with having windows 7. I have it aswell though and it is possible to fix.
This worked for me:
A guy called mudlord made a windows 7 direct draw patcher, which you can DL here:
http://mudlord.info/res/apps/w7ddpatcher.zip

Then follow this simple guide:
1. Press "Patch"
2. Choose "starcraft.exe" from your game folder
3. Close w7ddpatcher.
4. That is all, no silly scripts killing explorer.exe

Lemme know if it works.

2.
I'll just tell you my setup:
8-0 for nexus (makes for easy 8p9p0p)
1-4 for units (makes for easy 1a2a3a4a)
5-7 for early production and later on I use them to rerally gates.

3.
I'm able to add/remove the black bars (width) through my montior settings. Duno how fix it if there is no such thing on your monitor. =/
3b. When in wmode you have that cursor thing clicked in the top right corner. This will keep you cursor inside the window. When playing like this is the small windowed wmode you sensitivity should be exactly the same as when playing fullscreen. Remember that you can change your ingame sensitivity thought the iccup launcher.


oh shit i didnt know about that fix lol

i use 8-0 for nexus, 1-4 for units and 5/6 for my gates, 7 for some higher-tech production buildings depending on where i placed them

i think there's a way to make it so theres no black bars but everything gets stretched, ill look for it and post if i find something

I used to do 890 for nexus, but after realizing that no progamer uses that setup, I changed it

PvT
456 nexus
6-9 gateway (first gate is 6, but when i get my third I override it)
0 robo (i make a lot of obs lol)
1-5 army (1-2 11goon1obs each, then the rest are zlots/arb)

PvZ
45 nexus
6/7 gateway (2 gate +1 speedlot)
3 corsairs (later 7 or 8)
9 stargate
0 robo
1-5 army

PvP
45 nexus
6-9 gateway
0 robo
2 first obs
3 first shuttle
1-5 army (harass drops would be on 3-4, or 5 or 6 later on)
f keys centered on each nexus (important to maynard probes against drops)

when I rally stuff I use the f2f3 method lol

how do you know progamers dont use the 890 setup? and if Bisu doesnt hotkey his 2nd nexus, how does he do it?

If you have their replays you can use BWchart to see their hotkeys. Bisu uses F-keys for his other nexuses most likely

PvP it helps to hotkey all your probes in the early mid game if you know he wants to harass.

I'm pretty sure you need to forward your 6112-6119 ports.
Here's a guide:

1. Download iccup launcher.

2. Enable window mode.

3. Click the icon in the top right corner that locks your cursor within the window, keeps the window over everything else, and increases the size of the window.

4. Hotkeys for Protoss as I use them:
- 4 Nexus
- 5-0 Gateway. If I replace a hotkey with army, then I simply double-hit the next Gateway hotkey to access them all. This is essential later in the game when I have 10+ Gateways.
- 1-3 Army. 3 usually used for scout or units I need to micro. 4+ used for army in the late game.
- F2 for main
- F3 for natural
- F4 for third
- F keys I change according to whether I need to reset rally points or have more pertinent bases to watch.

5. To set F keys, you need to hold shift and hit the F key you want to associate with your screen position. So, Shift+F2 will save your current screen position to F2 and your screen will return to that screen position whenever you hit F2.

6. To resolve latency issues, install iCCup Launcher available on iCCup.com and use their private server. Both parties must use iCCup Launcher to benefit from low latency.
