Starcraft is resisting to Windows 2k and won't close in ANY WAY !!!

[Thor_Sevan]

HI !!!

Something strange is happening with win2k and starcraft broodwar now...
When I quit the game... it quits but stays in the taskbar and refuses to go away. Even if I try to force kill, IT WON'T !!! I EVEN CAN'T SHOTDOWN THE COMPUTER BECAUSE OF THIS !!!
So i have to press reset and do a boring scandisk each time !

HELP ?

Two things. Find out what process is started as a result of opening up Starcraft. This way you can try to kill the process. Some processes stay active and won't show up in the Task Manager applications tab. Second, make sure that you have downloaded the latest compatibility update from Microsoft. There might be an update in there for you. I think you can find this in the Windows Update page. Luck....

try end tasking bw while its open by alt tabbing

Try alt + F4 as well if it will work..

Good luck. You can't kill the process either. When you try, it gives you the "end now?" prompt, you click it and nothing happens. Win2k will not shut down either, it is very frustrating. You can only hard boot your machine. I have had this problem on several different Win2k machines, with and without SP1 and SP2. Ahh well I have a Win98 machine I can run it on anyway

I got same problems too
so I run SC on My WinMe and Win98 machine.
just got an IdeA try remove the CD when you end sc to see if that helps.

Hmmm. Very puzzling. I've been running SC + BW for quite a while on my W2K (RTM) with no problems like that.

When I upped the FSB to 112, SC would just drop out (to the desktop) after a little while, but after putting the FSB back to 100, it's fine.
