I remember some folks used to have the same problem, but I can't find anything with search (here or google). I also tried running it in XP compatibility mode and a few other things, but no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Try updating your vid card driver if you havent and maybe try lowering hardware acceleration. its under advanced settings < troubleshooting in xp when you right click the desktop. Maybe someone with vista can help you more >_>. | ||

just go with a multiple boot instalation: vista and xp (i'm guessing 2g of hdd space for xp is not a problem) or you could try something just for your own piece of mind run a game, any game, at 640x480 (at starcrafts color bit depth). if you get the same bugs as in starcraft then it might be a compatibility issue: video card - resolution/refresh. | ||

xM: Yea, I might do that. I'm going to try reinstalling it first... if that doesn't work I'll test it on something else. | ||

From your description it sounds like a drives issue. I have experienced similar issues with bad video drivers. Check around, if yours are up-to-date try to look for some beta ones. | ||

(the stupid administration mode they ripped of linux and made it annoying). From your description it sounds like a drives issue. I have experienced similar issues with bad video drivers. Check around, if yours are up-to-date try to look for some beta ones. Video card is a geforce 8800gtx -- newest drivers with all vista hotfixes. I ran SC with administrator, but no difference. Really can't figure out what it is =( I used my old computer to play for the tourney yesterday, but I'm going to have to dual boot XP on this one if I can't figure it out soon. | ||

I've got Starcraft running perfectly fine on Vista 64 and I've got the 8800 gtx as well. I have encountered messed up colours a couple of times in SC but this can be fixed by restarting the application. (It also happens quite rarely anyway, normally when you alt tab). It's strange that you get so many problems though... FYI, I'm running Nvidia drivers: 11/09/2007, 7.15.11.6369 (from device manager) Also, have you disabled Starcraft on the DEP (Data Execution Prevention.. or something like that)? Try also running SC in compatability mode for WinXP if you haven't already. Have you also tested other games on your comp? As it may not be a SC-related issue. :S Last question in my head is whether you are running SCBW with a vanilla install and with all other external programs disabled? I.e. without any third-party shit that could potentially interfere with it? Try running SC in safe mode for example... EDIT: Just remembered... I disabled auto-defragging and search-engine indexing in Vista even before I installed SC.. so if you're desperate you can try disabling those (good to do anyway..) and see if maybe that is the answer... | ||

It plays WC3, CS:S, WoW, and virtually every other game I have just fine, except SC.....I think it doesn't want me to play anymore. *thinking of getting a new HDD, CPU, and Mobo* | ||

Soo, I have to play SC on my LAPTOP? UGH! Hmmm.... On the NVIDIA control panel, it has FirstPacket- option. Just tried it. It didn't help what so ever | ||

Core 2 Duo T5600 1.83GHz 1gb ram Vista Business Intel integrated GMA 950Glx I run SC perfectly on this laptop. Not sure why it wouldn't work on your guys' computers which are better. | ||

For some reason. SC must have a low priority? Sounds like a noob hypothesis- | ||
