The second (or the third) option is very interesting and should work for everyone ! It solves the Direct3D freezing problems with this game. But please, do not forget to install the c++ redistributable first (it's the second link on the site: link).
Using the DxWnd tool (which allows to run old games in a windowed mode). Using the Chaoslauncher tool <- there is an option: W-MODE (windows mode). Run Starcraft in a virtual machine (Windows XP Mode) <- which is ok, but you cannot get this old game full screen (no matter what you do, it resizes itself to 640*480 and leaves black borders around the game). 
the more powerful your graphic chip is, the higher probability it won't work.įor these people though, there are still 2 possibilities: My personal feeling is, that it depends on your graphic card.
Selective start-up (allowing just basic services in msconfig: start->run->msconfig). End tasking or pausing Explorer ( this is my first answer which works in 80 % of cases). There are still people for whom all mentioned fixes WILL NOT WORK: Hey Presto! a brand new (working) Starcraft shortcut that doesn't open a command prompt window Click on the original Starcraft.exe (with the Wraith fighter icon) and click Open. Right-Click and go to Properties->Change Icon. vbs file on the desktop (or wherever you keep your game shortcuts) and rename it if you wish WshShell.Run chr(34) & "scFixed.bat" & Chr(34), 0Ĭhange scFixed.bat to whatever you named your batch file. Right-Click->Edit and paste in the following: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") If you don't like seeing a command prompt window open up when you run Starcraft, create a second file, however give this one a. We have to wait until sc1 ends, otherwise the explorer won't start! There are other guides on the net, but they miss 1 important thing: the wait switch. The solution is to kill the explorer causing these problems:Ĭopy WIN7FIX.bat in the starcraft directory (where starcraft.exe is)
