Here's something odd that I realized though. After going into safe mode and loading up SC, the game actually runs perfect. With generic windows drivers. Uhhhh, without Nvidia drivers. Yea. . . . So it's clearly a Nvidia driver problem. I can't think of ANYTHING else that it could be at this point. I tried it on my brother's machine too, (he has the same setup except for he has the ATI 2900XT) and it worked flawlessly. There's kind of a problem with diagnosing it though because what I'm experiencing is so slight that 99% of people wouldn't notice it... so how can I expect a driver company to? They'd say it works fine and I'm crazy. To re-explain the exact problem (in bnet first): when you switch screens... there is a very fast, but definite "fade to black" effect happening. For those of you running machines without this problem, the screen changing in SC is absolutely instant with maybe a super-fast flicker. If you're having the problem, it doesn't instantaneously change like that, it fades out first (like I said, it's fast, but it's definite). Then ingame, there is some weird... lag/glitch. It's very hard to notice if you haven't played SC forever, but it's there and it fucks the sensitivity of my mouse up (which is usually fucked anyways, so this is a big 181818a). Anyways, I'm considering trading this for a 2900XT... that's how bad it is. It runs everything else perfect on the highest settings too, so it's not a problem with the card. But if it won't run the bestest game ever created, it's a piece of shit. I guess I could always pay some crazy driver hacker to figure it out and make me special "Skew Drivers for StarCraft". HEHE.... eh. | ||

Go to compatibility tab, check the box, and try running it with xp or 2000. | ||

1.) Alt tab a lot until the colors turn out right (not very reliable) 2.) Force windows Vista basic graphics mode (something like that). For me, this can be done by running media player classic or something that can play a DivX vid (which for some reason forces Vista Basic), run a divx vid, and just set to pause and run SC. I don't seem to be experiencing the same lag as you guys though... | ||

I'm having the exact same problem regarding the fade-out between screen changes, and the "laggy" feel during gameplay. I JUST got this new PC yesterday. Gigabyte P35-DS3R MOBO Intel Quad-Core Q6600 XFX GeForce 8800GT 512 4GB RAM 500GB HD This bitch runs Crysis on Very High settings, but I have the same problem as you with SC. I don't get the problem with the colors, but just the menus and the in-game lag. Just like you said, - as though you you were running Winamp in the background with a crappy computer - type lag. Also in the searching for games menu alot of the time the lag bars don't show up all the way. My guess is that it's an Nvidia drivers thing too. Really sucks. 8-/ | ||
