On a related note, I'm at a bit of a crossroad right now. I want to play BW on a 64bit MBP without the stupid mouse acceleration and ICCUP launcher. This means windows of course, but W7 crashes BW, XP 64bit isn't supported by bootcamp, and Vista sucks. Any ideas?

Just use 32 bit XP. You'll lose like 700MB of RAM nothing special and it is BW we're talking about. These systems are extreme overkill for that game.

1. DDhack on windows 7
2. Vista

Problem is still there...but I think I got the solution. I have the MBP antiglare model which is a widescreen...maybe the game just won't fit in there..

I have to say I have brood war running on a 23" 1080p widescreen LG monitor so I really don't know why you are having so much trouble with it. To be honest though I really can't play on such a screen because my mouse goes flying off the screen with the slightest movement.

BW is a 4:3 game. You have widescreen monitor. It's going to have black bars, or it's going to be stretched horizontally, pick one. I have no idea what everybody else in this thread is talking about. It has nothing to do with the fact that you have a Mac, or an antiglare screen. The black bars will be present on any laptop made in the past five years, with any OS.

Are the people who say they have "fixed" this problem, or "don't have" this problem serious? I mean, it's not possible to "fix" this problem.

Yeah you're right, though I'd like a scretched out version more than the one with black bars

I wish you could make graphic settings adjustments on the mid 2010 macbook pro model so you could change the aspect ratio..can't find anything like that though
