so i did a little googling for resolution fix on xp, and i get this. so i tried it, but i get an error telling me that the program linked (called ReForce) can't find a monitor. i'm pretty sure the reason for this is just because its inside a virtual machine, but how would i fix this? | ||

1. UNCHECK the "Enable Color Cycling" box in the Video options on the in-game menu. 2. Make the registry changes as specified in this thread. You can also try running the game with the "Screen Resolution" options window open on your desktop...apparently it worked for some people that were having graphical glitches. | ||

Here is a link to the original thread/ddhack and a quote of my settings that work for me. Would be good to know if this fixes problems for other people. Original Thread http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=151063 DDHack http://sol.gfxile.net/ddhack/ Configuration just tried this thing and sc would just stay on the title screen and not run lol. colors were fine tho, and i could ctrl+alt+del out of it. but i have win7 home premium so that might be why, idk | ||

When trying to enter battle.net, first, I got a message from battle.net that the application version cannot be determined (kicking me). Now (??) the game switches back to the desktop (in low resolution) and nothing more happens the moment I try to connect with battle.net, and I have to kill it using task manager. Any ideas? | ||
