Starcraft won't run

For some reason, when I try to run Starcraft on my new computer, it won't let me run and gives me this error.

I did everything as stated in the error as shown, yet it still gave me the error.

The funny thing is, my OS is Windows XP, so I don't know why it's giving me this error. It worked perfectly fine on my old computer, with the same OS. I think it may be my different graphics card, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.

Your resolution doesn't exactly look like it is at the size that Starcraft requires it to be at.



None.

I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Did you install a grafic card driver?

I have played on the same resolution on my old computer if I am not mistaken. I didn't change monitors

Yes I did install a graphics card driver. It is 3Dlabs Acuity Driver.

Oh_Man -- what units would u want to see in a second SC1 expansion? Green Archon? Terran Viking? Baneling?

Oh_Man -- Blizzard should go the WoW classic route - give us a second expansion for Starcraft 1!

l)ark_ssj9kevin -- I ended up buying it :(

dumbducky -- Kinda wild I never played it.

Ultraviolet -- kinda wild that SC:R is approaching a decade old at this point

NudeRaider -- doesn't change much of my argument. That's still 15 years ago. And they went the "lazy" route and used the sc2 engine for, which obviously is more limited (but way quicker) than rendering everything from scratch.

Ultraviolet -- I haven't even paid enough attention to remastered cinematics to even compare to what that guy did

Ultraviolet -- think he was comparing what that guy did to SC:R's cinematics more than SC2's cinematics

NudeRaider -- That said, I like the gritty look of his more than what they did with the sc2 cinematics where everything is just glowy and polished. This is just more fitting of a war scenario and captures the desperation of the Protoss better..

Oh_Man shouted: how can one person surpass entire video game company, none of SCBW's cinematics got remastered liek this
they weren't really remade, just rerecorded in hd or something. It's now over 25 years after they were made, tools and techniques have improved a lot and are much more accessible.
