SC under windows 7 : GASP !

Not that many people will have the Professional edition. It costs more, and all you get extra is the remote desktop function. At least that's all I know about it.

 

Nice find! I doubt I'll go into the trouble of activating this software since it will give nothing better than a bug free Starcraft original.

Maybe I would if using the 64 bits Windows 7, you could emulate Windows X 32bits. I could install freaking Cisco VPN!

 

Starcraft 1 is not the only game to have some visual bugs with the new OS. The title like Max Payne 2 which needed a very powerful computer at its time (in 2003) has some bugs. Indeed the visual effects, even if I set on maximum effects, there are some pixels which are not fluid. Can't explain more precisely.

 

We have a 1 GB Win7 box on which we have observed that MySQL consumes almost entire available physical memory. We increased the Swap memory from 1 GB to 3 GB hoping that MySQL will start using the swap memory along with RAM. What we observed though was that the swap memory was hardly used until the physical memory was first exhausted. Could anyone please share information related the queries that i am listing below?

 

It works now, no worry.

 

To anyone else having this problem, I have a fix.

Make a new .txt file in your SC directory and call it whatever you want (I called mine fix).

Paste this into it:

@echo off
@echo ================================================
@echo Fenix is AWESOME
@echo ================================================
@echo This fix closes explorer.exe, waits until it is closed and then launches a colour bug free SC.
@echo off

taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
starcraft.exe
Start explorer.exe



Save As fix.bat

Run.

Rejoice.

 

Thanks for your fix, but

1. You don't need the @ before all those echos, once you've turned echo off.
2. You don't need to turn echo off twice.

 

Never thought that it's that easy to fix, thanks Fenix!
