Unable to Verify Application Version

[KiL Zero]

Everytime I try to log into Battle.net through Starcraft BW it gives me the whole
"Unable to verify Application Version" message.


I've been trying to fix this for hours.
I emailed support... no help.
I even reinstalled after miraculously finding both CDs and a CD-KEY.
(Starcraft & BW)

I have the latest patch v1.15.2

I tried everything on the support page.
(Scan computer, Virus Check, Reinstall,Patch Reinstall, Deleted all 3rd Party Programs)

i'm all out of ideas. please help.

PLEASE. Thanks.
btw I'm using Windows XP

Go to Start -> Run:
Type regedit

In your Registry Editor, go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Blizzard Entertainment -> StarCraft

Take a screenshot of what's in that folder and post it here. Not 100% sure I can help, but I wanna see if there's anything messed up in your registry for starters.

Just to give an example, I have a copy of mine attached.

there it is

Your registry looks fine. My only other recommendation if you *really* wanna get StarCraft working is reformatting. I have no idea what happened to your computer, but a reformat's probably the only thing that'll help at this point now.

Either that or he attempted to install the game on a false CD, which could have caused that problem. But if that was the case, Retail may have displayed "N".

And btw, it isnt really a good idea to use Chit Chat to gain attention to your problems. I know you are in dire need of help, but you shouldnt have to resort to that when someone will eventually help you.

But noone has helped me yet... : (

No, I have both real actual CDs.

Any ideas?

 

[coRtALoS]

Did you reformat yet?

 

[KiL Zero]

No i didn't. I don't want to lose anything.

 

[ChrisH36]

You won't if you burn everything to backup CDs.

 

[KiL Zero]

That would take so long...

 

[coRtALoS]

Buy a hard drive from Best Buy/Circuit City/Walmart, backup all your data, on it. Reformat your main hard drive, restore your data, and return the hard drive to wherever you bought it. Problem solved.

That would take so long...

Sorry, but there is no real magical abracadabra that is going to give you the quick fix.

I have had to reformat my HD 4 times once because of XP SP2.

normally if i ever get this message, it's me trying to guess a cd-key... err, try logging onto different b.net realms? sry mate i got none here hah.

 

[ChrisH36]

CD key would probably not let him install it. Plus, it would have told him someone else is using this CD-Key if that was the problem.

Wow I have XP SP2. Maybe that's the problem?

How can I change the version? (upgrade, downgrade, any version that allows me to play online, but isn't Windows98 or Vista.)

Yea I need help on this. I've reinstalled Starcraft a few times and it's not working... what the foozle!

try deleting any traces of sc in your registry after uninstalling
