I've been using Farty's Starcraft Classic Installer reliably, however I've run into a huge graphical issue. I know Starcraft and Win7 do not get along but I'd rather be dealing with the magenta and cyan color glitches than this.
Starcraft is being rendered in an incomprehensible black and white mess. Graphics, UI, everything. I can't take a screenshot to show what it looks like because for some reason screenshots look perfectly fine. In game though it looks like static. Here's what I've tried so far all which haven't worked -
-Reinstalling Starcraft, trying different patches and resetting the registry/install path.
-Running as admin.
-Running in compat mode for Windows XP SP1/SP2, Windows 95/98, Windows Vista SP1/SP2.
-Running in 256 colors, 640x480, disabled desktop elements/composition.
-Running with the Resolution/Personalize window open.
-Killing explorer.exe.
-Allowing Starcraft.exe through firewall/antivirus.
-Applying the 64bit registry fix.
-Verifying DirectDraw acceleration is enabled in dxdiag.
-Setting all Nvidia settings for Starcraft to off/letting the application decide.
-Updating/Clean installing video card drivers.
I've been troubleshooting for days and I'm a bit at my wits end. I'm becoming less convinced that it's Windows 7 and more convinced that it may be a video card/monitor issue.
Specs:
Windows 7 64bit
GTX 750 Ti SC
EDIT: I successfully got it working with Niev's chainwmode exe, I just had to have all the exes in separate folders for it to work.
(Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, wasn't sure if this belonged in General Starcraft or Technology & Computers)
