Hey community, with the MLG up and running I wanted to be able to watch a lot of the awesome games that it has to offer. There's a slight problem though, my SC2 won't allow me to view replays.
Whenever I try to open a replay I get a message saying "Unable to load replay". I was able to view replays prior to that and when I uninstalled my game and reinstalled it worked again only for replays not being able to view a few weeks later.
I'm wondering what is causing this and if it's fixable. I'm on bootcamp on a mac running Windows XP if that helps, I want to be able to see MC vs Idra again  .
Would be awesome if someone has a solution or has some things that I can try to help, I've already tried to run the repair.exe to see but that didn't do anything.

For some reason I am unable to open downloaded replays unless SC2 is closed when I open it. Is this possibly the problem ?

I opened the replay from the folder in windows and it still gave me the "Unable to load replay." message, it's really annoying =/

you generally can't open replays from the windows folder....
you need to transfer the replay files to the actual SC2 replay folder, then load them from within the game's GUI (menu's)
the location of the SC2 replay folder is:
C:\Users\<username>\Documents\StarCraft II\Accounts\0123456789\1-S2-1-0123456\Replays
Hope this helps

I've known about the location of the folder since beta / the game came out, no matter where I open the replay from it gives me the "Unable to load replay." message. I usually just go to "Show folder" in the replay section so I know where the folder is, I put the replay in but when I'm in game the map doesn't even show nor the information of the replay =/.
I've tried with 6-7 replays from sc2rep.com that worked before, so that can't be it.

The only things I can think of (which are really unlikely imo):
1. Your sc2 isn't up to date
2. For some reason you are running sc2 in offline mode(which doesn't seem right since you're posting here lol)/your sc2 isn't downloading the MLG maps if you don't already have them
Sorry it's not much help, that's all I can think of.

That isnt necessary,I open the repays off the chrome download bar. Maybe it has something to do with your folder security, starcraft doesnt have access to the folder? I'm the super admin of my comp, windows 7 has some really irritating problems with access, even if you are the admin, you need to manually grant permissions.
And yes you need to exit starcraft before you open the replay, otherwise it does nothing. It's pretty annoying.

I was able to view the replays fine a couple of days ago and nothing changed from then and the time that I re-logged. I can play games no problem but the replays are the only thing bugging me. I'm on windows xp, not 7  .
I've tried the blizzard forums but those were useless -.-
It's not something that I need but it's something that definitely helps a player 
/still seeking help haha.
