Help with .scx Maps

[sco11]

You guys probably will think this is a stupid question, but for some reason I can't open .scx maps in the editor, How can I open them? :usad

Are you getting a message that kind of looks like this?

[sco11]

Yes, exactly like that. I like your windows theme.. where'd ya get it?

[Lwek]

The main reason why you're getting that message is because the creator of the map has protected their map. They use programs, such as StarForge and ProEdit, that protect maps so that nobody else can open the map but still can play the map in StarCraft. People protect maps to prevent people from making the map unfair(rig), hide a trick they did in their map, and/or prevent other versions from being made.

About my Windows Theme:
I got my Windows theme from WinCustomize.
The specific theme that I have is called Darkest Foundation. It requires a free program called WindowsBlinds.
