Did you try un-installing then re-installing your original Starcraft?



None.

This happened to my old disk a few years ago. It froze while installing the brood MPQ file. This was before I really used torrents, so I bought another CD for 5$. I would just try downloading the installer and using your CD-key.

You can make an account at www.battle.net, put in your CD key, and they will let you download SC.

Via torrent. Instead of using a key-gen, use your CD-key. A torrent would be perfectly legal in that situation.

Actually, you could just do what zany said. I didn't realize Blizzard provided it on their website.

Go to www.battle.net.
Make an account.
If/when it asks for a CD key, put it in. If it doesn't, find where you Add a Game and put it in there.
Go to Manage Game
Download Starcraft Anthology or w/e
Run the exe. It will download a file a bit over 1 gig.
Normal installation afterwards.

It's Brood War and SC combined.
