I tried doing the Microsoft support hotfix, but it's currently no longer available it says. So, so much for that I guess. Sucks this problem's been here for months now and most of us are still on square 1. I guess I'll just have to deal with window mode or forget BW and play only SC2. I'll be checking back every once in a while to see if there are any updates, but I won't be holding my breath! haha  Good luck to anyone that's still even attempting a fix!!! I'm rooting for you! ^_^ | ||

Here's a good workaround to make your Starcraft work on Windows 7: 1. Enable Window Mode in Chaoslauncher. 2. Change your Windows resolution to 640x480 and position your Starcraft in Window mode so it fits the screen perfectly. 3. Use Alt + F1 to lock your cursor inside Starcraft window, so you can scroll normally in game. Also use Alt + F11 to keep Starcraft on top of other windows, in case Taskbar is showing on top of SC. 4. In case you can only change your resolution to 800x600 in Display Settings, click Advanced and go to Adapter settings. There find "List all modes" option and click it (if you can't find it in Adapter tab, look around, it should be there somewhere). When you find all modes, choose the one where it says "640 by 480, True Color (32bit), xx Hz" (note: choose highest number of xx you find). | ||

Um what's the difference between doing this and just playing on windowed mode regularly besides the fact that your clear of distractions? I don't really understand how this is a fix becuz we still can't get sc to play on full screen :x | ||

I don't really understand how this is a fix becuz we still can't get sc to play on full screen :x Because Window mode of Starcraft is 640 pixels wide and 480 high (it's a constant). When you set your Desktop resolution to 640x480 what do you think happens? | ||

I highly doubt that anyone who is still having problems has tried out DDHack while following all the instructions. You're welcome to prove me wrong though. Read my posts above. I cannot log into ICCup. I use Win7 64 Professional. Playing in window mode is no alternative for me, because of the keyboard and mouse latency. Storms don't go off in time, control groups are not assigned as pressed etc. In short: sucks. | ||

say "I'm sorry,never mind". But this time I waited about 2 weeks to seriously to see if this worked. So If you have windows 7. Try downloading the service pack 2. I've done this and no freezes and color problems so far and I've been going strong for 2 weeks. I can with confidence say, this is the solution. SPECIAL THANKS to Learn[wOk] | ||
