1. right click on your desktop
2. select "screen resolution"

done

If you're talking about the .reg file blizzard released to fix colors with windows 7 no it's doesnt solve this blank rank issue, i really wonder if there's a way to fix it really, it's very annoying :/

Sadly, that method didn't help me in displaying the ranks of the players in a channel :[.

Can't make new threads, so this goes here.

http://mudlord.info/code/w7ddpatcher.zip

Program fixes broken colors under vista/win7 with games using DirectDraw.

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

How does it work? Author speaking:

<mudlord> it adds some entries to the registry for compatibility
<mudlord> It does not patch the EXE
<mudlord> it intercepts the directdraw ID, etc
<mudlord> source is in there

Haven't tested with other games exhibiting this issue (Fallout, Fallout 2, Diablo, etc), high probability it will work too.






Worked like a charm! I'd forgotten how fast i had my mouse set in bw. Going back to it now was jarring. Thanks a lot for this.

That link is broken.
Here's a working link: http://mudlord.info/res/apps/w7ddpatcher.zip


Again not working link. Uploaded here:

Do you know how to fix this?
It's hard to ladder without this feature....


Has anyone else run into this? I can fix the colours couple of the old ways (kill explorer or keep screen resolution window open with a black background). On my laptop, I never had this issue, but since getting my pc, on iCCup, I can't see ranks or people's lag/ping? (The green, yellow, or red bars)

No one figured out how to fix ranks yet? You gotta be kidding me.....
1) Create a shortcut to Starcraft and put it on your desktop
2) Right click on the shortcut and click Properties
3) In the Target box after the last quotation marks, add this: "ddemulate" with the quotation marks
4) Click Apply and close
5) Run Starcraft and enjoy your fix

Your box should look like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\StarCraft\StarCraft.exe" "ddemulate"
With the quotation marks, also change it to wherever your Starcraft directory is in as well

what if you want to use stuff like Iccup launcher for obvious reasons?
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

@One and only KrasH
You have to leave the Screen Resolution window open AND run sc as admin, I rather do what I said
@Roflhaxx
Go suggest to ICCup that they're launcher should run SC in DirectDraw mode. Alternatively you can do what I said above, open Chaoslauncher(which should include ICCup's antihack) and on the icon tray, right click on chaoslauncher and click "Attach to ICCup 1.16.1"
There you go, the ICCup's antihack is loaded. I've already asked MasterOfChaos to make an edit for Chaoslauncher to make SC use DirectDraw mode however it doesn't seem like he's going to do it(anytime soon)

Idk works perfectly fine for me, but i suggest you mess around with aero settings and visual settings
Control panel, System and security, System
Click on advanced system settings on the left
Click "settings" button under "performance
Change some of those or mess around.
Thats about all ive done on this clean install of windows 7, and it works fine i guess for me.
