Basically the title says it all. My home computer crashed so I'm trying to install SC & BW on my grandma's compy. I don't need a Key Code, i've got mine still but my cd won't load Starcraft, the Brood War CD works just fine.

Link maybe?

Go onto blizzard's store and input your cd-key. It'll give you a downloadable copy.

You have to click on "Games". Then you just follow the onscreen instructions.

this is really cool, it makes scratched cds work 99% of the time, i did it for my sc cdkey:
Basically you take toothpaste and liberally apply it to the bottom side of the cd.
let it dry for about 5 mins and then WITHOUT using water, rub it off as best as you can, make sure you cant SEE anything but smudges, no toothpaste
supposedly it makes the cd duller and fills the cracks (maybe), but it works either way, you may have to do this again at a later day, but it fixed my sc cd =D

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[06:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[03:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[03:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
