Windowed Bug [Fixed]

This happened to me today right before I downloaded the new patch, so it's not a result of the patch. I have tried restarting and reinstalling, neither had any effect.

My laptop usually runs SC in a typical 4x3 ratio, with black stripes on the sides (laptop monitor is widescreen). Now the game opens up in a very small, probably 640x480, screen in the center of my monitor, with the rest of the screen black. It takes up no more than a quarter of the surface and I can't find any way to resize it. I'm not sure what would be causing this or why it would happen now, but it's incredibly annoying and really hard to play well when I can barely see the minimap.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

EDIT: Fixed, I went into my video card settings and told it to scale things with a fixed-aspect ratio. Thanks anyone who read this!

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 Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it.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?

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

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.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

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:
