ive tryed reinstalled, and downloadign a new copy in case my original cds were corrupted

ive already installed the latest patch, 1 just came out a few weeks ago

same soundcard as way back, but i did use 98se and now im on 2ksp4

hmm didnt think of hardware conflict, since other 2d games work i thought it was software

but i guess it could be, i have several devices on irq 11, ill try to switch some and report back here



and lol sorry for arguing, checked wayback machine and no 2500

so its either a 2000 or 3000, really dont have a clue ;/

i have some unknown aopen soundcard but i disabling disabling it in device manager (specified in my post up there) with no results

starcraft doesnt run in windowed mode

224mb of ram (128 +64 + 32.... yeah) starcraft already played on this same rig anyways

all the 3dfx websites are pretty much down, but yeah there was a 2500, both pci and agp

this page mentions it
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/involve.htm

Now thats cleared up, nobody has an idea whats causing the problem ?

sorry for double

i think its a video card problem since the game menu runs fine (wich lead me to think not software) put crashes whenever i select something that requires the actual game to start (as ive specific in my original post)

removed? please move it to the right place instead

ive updated my game, so i have all the latest fixes possible

already tryed a nocd too, and also redownloading both games and mounting the isos installing from there. no fix

Hi

This is a problem ive researched alot by myself, so its gonna be quite lengthy naming all the stuff i've already tryed. Please bear with me.

I tryed to install Stacraft Broodwar on my old Box wich i used to play it on years ago so i could duel my buddy who was about to come over.

Game starts fine, but whenever i click on the multiplayer menu, or click on a campaign in the singleplayer menu, it freezes.
Music keeps on playing tho.

Computer is a P2 400Mhz with a voodoo 3 2500 pci. Running windows 2000 sp4 fully updated.

theres no Error folder created in my starcraft home dir

Ive patched the game to the latest version (1.13e) with the standalone download

I also know that this hardware setup CAN run starcraft (even warcraft 3...) as ive played on it for many many hours years ago. i might have been under windows 98se, but everything else is the exact same

-Ive tryed 3 different video drivers cleaning up in between. The last official 3dfx ones. Amigasport 3.0 and sfftv3alpha32.

-Ive tryed directx 9.0c and also tryed downgrading to 8.1b

-tryed different refresh rates for my 17'' CRT. tryed setting my desktop to starcrafts default res (640X480X16)

-tryed disabling my sound card in device manager

-tryed running it in windows 95, 98 and nt 4.0 compatibility mode.



So there it is, hopefully one of you voodoo gurus can help me out
