The title might make you think this is spam but I'm extremely pissed.
My starcraft doesn't run when I use MPQdraft, My DATedit closes when I enter Weapons
I basically can't run any mod I download.
WTF?
None.
Update datedit, that should make it stop crashing.
As for MPQDraft not working, some details please?
None.
I apologize for wrong section, Starcraft Itself is not crashing, It doesn't run period. DatEdit Is the latest version possible
None.
Stacraft isn't compatible with Vista.
None.
Yes it is. I can run StarCraft and all of the editors. Modding applications, I'm not sure of.
None.
Run in compatibility mode for windows xp (properties->compatibility), make sure you are an administrator, disable UAC.
None.
The only reason my MPQDraft doesn't seem to be working is the DEP, or Data Execution Prevention.
Is there any way to take this off the computer?
None.
Try this.

Do you think yourself? This is a serious question, Not bullshit

What's your problem? Rockz's link seems pretty helpful to me.
Okay, If this is helpful, What would you do if you were me? You tried everything, and nobody is helping you.
Would you take that as a joke? And be serious.
None.

I wouldn't be so fucking rude. NO ONE will want to help you. And bitching about how you hate vista just deters me even more.
Well there, that's my 10 cents.
None.

For one I don't have Vista and frankly I don't understand people that upgrade already, but that's none of my business. However that's why I can't really help you.
But I took the time and clicked Rockz link. After the I've had a good laugh I got redirected to a list of potentially helpful links. I clicked the first read a few lines and it seemed to be what you were looking for. That's why I wonder why you're not satisfied.
I mean sure, Rockz combined his help with a sarcastic joke at your expense, but the did link you to useful information.
Now you got 2 choices. Either be enraged how he could make you look that stupid or say hey, he's right damn me - better luck next time.
Guess what makes people respect you more.
Alright. But you say you have tried everything - that implies you followed the instructions in the first google entry. Why didn't it help?
You have to give us more information what you tried to fix it and what happened if you need further help.

Did you try clicking the LINKS in rockz page which direct to the actual Google search?
ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO
I have vista and know many modders that have vista and none have had any problems really. At least I know I haven't.
As to a solution, try this first
http://www.staredit.net/files/337/.I've heard that problem with DatEdit crashing before but I can't seem to remember who had it neither how it was fixed.
As to DEP, yes, try rockz link.
EDIT: oh also, if you don't want to disable DEPs just make your mod a Firegraft Self executing file. That's what I do cause I am too lazy to disable them.
fuck you all
I already have your modding tool package, Your DatEdit is the one that's crashing...

The DatEdit in Corbo's pack is outdated. It is 1.5b, which has a bug. You want to grab 1.5d.
Dear NudeRaider:

Sadly, any new pre-built computer will ship only with Vista. Laptops especially, whose drivers might be Vista-only.
My apologies to Rockz, it seems my Anger and Stupidity made me not click on the links.
I have now solved my DEP problem, found a working version of DatEdit and can play mods.
Thank you for all your help everyone, This case has been solved
None.
