I looked all over to try and find some help on solving this problem and came across this website. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys can help me solve it. I know SC is old, but hey its a great game and I love playing good rts games. The problem im having is the game seems to do 1 of 4 things when im playing it, and that is 1. It will come up with a error saying "Starcraft has encountered a problem and needs to be closed", 2. The game will just freeze completely to a point where I have to manually shut off the pc. 3. A blue screen will come up for about 3 secs and before I can even read what it says the comp shuts down. And 4 being the most common. The comp will just shut down and there will be no message. Now I don't understand whats causing this. My comp has all up to date hardware and I can play CS: Source, WoW, DOD:Source all with no problem. So why is a old game like this giving me difficulties, makes no sense to me. I have heard Windows xp doesn't go well with SC, but about 2 years back I was playing SC on this same pc using windows xp and having no problem. And now when I go to install the game and start playing it, its acting up. Im sure its not the cds either because I just bought the Battlechest (thinking it was the cd causing the prob). I have also tryed reinstalling the game, and still the problems occured. So do any of you guys know what the problem could be? I would list all my hardware etc but im pretty nooby when it comes to pc talk. You don't know how grateful I'd be if you guys solved it hah.
