Help with Starcraft on Vista

Post by NotSid »

Hello. I just got a brand spankin' new computer (WOOOOOO!) and I'm trying to run Starcraft on it. The game runs fine, except the resolution is all huge and kinda hurts my eyes. I was wondering what I'd have to do to play it so the resolution is not so big. I've already tried going into properties and clicking some boxes, but that didn't work. My desktop resolution is set to 1920x1080 right now, in case that is important. I really hope I don't have to keep changing that every time I play Starcraft, lol.

Also, MMPD, when are ya comin back to IRC??

nope no way to change it. (correction no legal way to change it)
As for when I am coming back.. well whenever i can. unknown.
I had not planned to take the summer classes, but thats what i ended up doing.

I found out that I can finish early so i might be able to get back on in next week or two.

Ah, darn. Oh well, the old computer still works and is connected to the internet. That'll be my Starcraft computer, I guess.
I guess I'll have to look in to getting new games like that one you and Pepsi play(ed). Supreme Commander I think it was called?

Anyway, thanks for your help, and I hope to see ya back on IRC soon. Pretty boring around here recently :P

Vogons have a thread about resolution fixes for StarCraft, but I don't have the game, so I can't check them:

Just a few days ago, I found a similar patch for Fallout 1 and it really enhances the graphics a lot.
