1) Open command prompt as administrator. 2) Make sure you are on your partition drive(usually C  .3) Type in: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff 4) Then go to your run textbox at the start menu and type in msconfig. 5) Disable UAC in your tools tab. 6) If all that didn't work then put your SC installation in a different folder than program files and it should still run. Enjoy. | ||

Use this registry file instead. http://www.mediafire.com/?364l65ejk3co67i Extract and double click. It should fix color issues. | ||

I've also heard that while in fullscreen you cna simply go to the ingame options menu and disable colour cycling and that should be it. This is for crashes , I don't know about colour. | ||

I don't know what kind of crap i got on my pc while doing this, but the 'registery file' did nothing, the 'patch' did fix it somewhat. Yeah, somewhat. Now the colors are sometimes messed up; they apear good but slowly mess themselves up once people for instance join and leave a channel. | ||

They're supposed to do the same thing, by different methods. | ||

You can make it playable by right clicking the Chaoslauncher (or ICCup launcher) icon and choose "Run in 640x480" mode. It's still takes little getting used to, but not so much ^^ This I used to crash literally after 2-3 games always. The screen would just freeze in the middle of a game and I would have to turn my whole laptop off and start it on again. I used wmode and have never had a single crash problem or color problem since. I think once you set up your screen resolution there isn't really anything to get used too. Korean is broken on it but I rarely talk in game anyways and I usually ask obs to use ally chat so it doesn't really affect me. Korean works in the bnet channels anyways. I actually tried wmode on all my other friend's laptops and not a single one had a problem after using it. It really doesn't take anything to get used to. You just have to change your resolution each time you play which isn't really that tedious to do. | ||

This is indeed the best option. 1) right click on chaoslauncher/iccuplauncher and go to compatibility options and check 'run in 640 * 480) 2) check windows mode in the launcher does anyone know where i can find the shortcuts for windows mode? (eg: keep mouse in sc, double resolution etc) I searched but i can't find them. | ||
