My sc used to randomly crash when i had skype(and only skype) open, no idea why, but then i just re-install it and it went fine afterward (w7) | ||

Try going to properties and compatibility mode and search for color palette support or something like that. Otherwise I think W7 reg might work anyway. | ||

Has anyone else had Starcraft open a lot slower recently? Like a full minute or more after double clicking on the icon, it'll readjust the display ratio, but then nothing else will happen for at least a minute if not more. I actually think it's taking longer and longer these days. Everything else works with the game. It goes perfectly fast and shutsdown properly. And switching back and forth with alt-tab and the like works fine. But the intial opening has gotten super slow. | ||

The only way I solved it was reinstalling Windows 7, don't know what causes it... Maybe it has to do with SCBW being old software and Win7 doesn't like old games. | ||
