RE: Glitching

What version of Windows do you use?

If you're trying to play it on Windows 2000, or an operating system where you don't have Administrator access, that may cause random problems.

If it's Windows ME, you have a problem with your O/S and need to upgrade to Windows 98 immediately =)

hmmm

Hay 98 is the best system it can handle the most data and it is the fastest for its capasite.

 

[coRtALoS]

moo

I wasn't bashing Windows 98 Shrimp, I was bashing Windows ME. Out of 6 people I know with Windows ME, 1 of them doesn't constantly have a problem. 4 of the other 6 did what most would call "Upgrading to Windows 98" from ME.

Windows ME is about as popular now as Enron was about a year ago.

I find I prefer Unix, and Linux Redhat, but Win2k if I had to pick something by Microsoft. XP is great and all, but you can't seriously fucl< up your computer, even with Administrative access! Don't get me wrong, I like the OS, and I think it will makeup for that atrocity Microsoft released as Windows ME, but it feels like the MTV version of operating systems. Too... ugh, sellout I guess?

 

[shrimpshark]

true

Your right about a lot of the things you said.

 

[ConqueringStuff]

yeah......

Yokay then i think ill upgrade to Windows XP rather then ME

Thx ppl

 

[coRtALoS]

LOL

You're serious? You do have Windows ME?

If so then I'd definately blame it on that. Windows ME has more bugs than Shrimp's dirty clothes bin!

 

[AKA-47]

Actually, windows 98 had millions of bugs. XP is the best OS.

I'm talking about the lesser of the two evils, 98 is far better and more stable than ME. Microsoft just needed an operating system to make money off poor suckers that didn't know they were going to get screwed until they released XP.

And... living up to Microsoft's standards of constantly making new OS's so you have to fork over another $400, they're releasing an updated version of Win2k called .NET. Mostly used for networking and such however, much like 2000 is used now. I'm not sure what file structure XP uses, but I'm sure .NET will use NTFS, as opposed to 98's FAT 32bit.

Additionally, Intel is releasing the Itanium chip, designed for servers operating on .NET, which has a RISC-based EPIC architecture... should be interesting.

Bah, just get UNIX. It's free, and way more customizeable

Nah, i like my free warez version of XP, its good enough

 

[coRtALoS]

Gotta love the warez sites

I'll admit those have saved me hundreds of dollars on free Photoshop, etc. But are you certain the warez XP OS doesn't have another backdoor that Microsoft didn't program into it?

I didn't get mine copy of Win2k from a warez site, however, I'll admit I didn't *ahem* pay for mine either =)

I doubt it's the hardware causing the problem. Broodwar only requires, like, 75mhz to run on and 8MB of ram or something. I'd say it's a problem with DirectX or something along those lines. Or your video card. Try downloading the latest directx software around. Obviously broodwar doesn't require that, but i'm thinking your old directx is messed up or had a bad install, or something. Can you run other games fine, does it just do this w/ broodwar?

 

[ConqueringStuff]

Every other game runs fine, even the original, its just the BroodWar that glithes

Can you describe what "glitches" means? Does the game crash, lockup, get the Blue Screen of Death, etc.?

 

[ConqueringStuff]

it means.....

"Glitching as in the screen turning black and the cd drive light lights up; no matter how long I leave it, it just stays like that.
If i eject the disk it works some times and continues to run untill its next crash (Which will be only 5-10 minutes apart)
so i gotta play just starcraft untill i fix it....

g'day

I had a problem similar to that, where my CD was scratched, and whenever I played the music the game would start locking up for a few seconds at a time, however the SFX worked fine... very annoying.

I know it's not the same exact problem, but check to make sure your CD doesn't have a lot of scratches on it as well. That's a very common problem with computer game CDs... overuse.
