Sorry... I've only heard of that problem when you're trying to run off of a burnt copy. No offense, I hope....

If you are playing with an original disk, then I don't know what the problem is.

See my file on www.freedrive.com
Follow this link to access it http://www.freedrive.com/ASP/PostFolderShortcut.asp?fsc=5185721
You must have an account on FreeDrive to get files from others

IMPORTANT! Make a backup of your original CDFS.SYS file in case the other CDFS screws up CD access

Mine works perfectly on Windows 2000 also. Try completely uninstalling the game and reinstalling. The error message sounds like it can't locate either the CD or some file on the CD. Is the CD good, or is it in some way damaged? Or could your CD and your CD-ROM drive be having problems getting along? Will it install and run on another OS on the SAME machine? How about on another machine?

For the past month my computer has been randomly rebooting, then I narrowed down the problem to Starcraft. When I exit Starcraft, it's tab stays open in the task bar, and if I try to end the process it just stays there. When I try to reboot volentarily it says waiting to end task and just sits there. So basically I have no choice but to leave it there. Then after about 15 mins my computer will just reboot. It does this everytime after I quit starcraft and occaisonally while I'm in it. I wasn't sure if this was the right place to ask this, but I figured it was a Win2k problem. My friend is using win2k and starcraft without flaw, but I have some wierd incompatability. I emailed the blizzard tech support and asked on the starcraft newsgroup but noone gave me an answer. Anyone else having this problem?

LOL. I would just like to say in Klaus's defense I have a burnt copy of starcraft and it works perfectly. It must be something else. Btw.. I burned it because I left the cd in this broker cd-rom and it got thrown out. Luckily I still had the case with the cdkey.

My problem with Starcraft on Win2k is that the game minimizes immediatly when it starts up. It tries to open, but then just minimizes. I click on the taskbar to restore it, it fullscreens for a half a second, and then minimizes again. The only way to turn it off is to just end task on it. I dual boot to Win 98 SE, and it works fine in there...same cd, hardware, everything. If anyone has any idea as too what might be the problem.....please, let me know.

Thanks in Advance
