Hey all. After a few months of inactivity I decided to re-install our beloved game, however I keep this frigging gay error msg :

"b.net was unable to properly identify your versio, please reinstall bla bla bla".. you know how it goes.
So I tried to reintall a million times, update to 1.15.3 and I keep getting the same msg. I even tried to downloade the 1.15.3 patch seperatly, install and then patch - same msg.

So has anyone experienced this or know how to deal with it? If you do help me please please @_@!
Sexual favors may be involved as payment.

thanks in advance - Hippie.
I love teh shisha.

If you're on Vista, you have to go to the Starcraft.exe file in the Programs folder, right click it, and pick Run As Administrator EVERY TIME you play to get on Battle.net. It's super annoying but it's the only way I found to fix the problem in Vista.

did the 1.15.3 patch install correctly? Check the bottom right corner of the screen after starting sc.
Download the patch from blizzard ftp and install it (running it as admin on vista). If required start sc as admin too, for which creating a link and setting run as admin in its properties helps.

Maybe make sure the language of the patches is the same?

I have Vista and it doesn't do that. But then again, my main Vista log-in is also the Admin account. So maybe that's why you're getting that error.
