StarCraft has been working perfectly for me for the past couple of weeks and when I tried to play it today I got an error message... (see image)
As what it says, my video card suddenly doesn't seem to want to run StarCraft, but yet it will run Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod with no problems... It said that maybe my DirectX 9 would need to be updated, so that is what I did and still nothing. Does anyone have anything that can help me with this? Please and thank you...
None.
run>dxdiag
test the direct draw
if it encounters no problems then...i dunno..
it is possible that you are running a 3d application and that causes the problem

Right click your SC shortcut go to Compatibility tab, and click run in 256 colors and run in 640x480 screen resolution,should fixs that

Yeah. Did you even try what it said?...
None.
Sorry for my absence but I was on an unexpected trip for a day or so....

This works perfectly now... Thanks for the help!
None.
If in doubt. Do what the error tells you.

Stupid post... Wasn't even worth your time.
But I have another problem on my hands... Now I can only play StarCraft once (as in closeing it and then reopening it) then the direct draw error comes back up again... I have everything checked that should be checked but this still isn't working... any other suggestions on why it doesn't work after the second try?
None.
Heres a dumb question... have you reinstalled?
None.
My brother has the exact same problem, it's an odd Vista error...
None.
I don't know if this is the case or not, but when I run Steam then StarCraft won't work... but when Steam is shut off and sometimes my computer is restarted everything will work find...
None.
When in doubt, dont listen to anyone else, system restore or recovery partition one week ago
