Saw the sc2 stuff, went to play sc on battlenet, but there's a new patch (1.15) and it keeps failing because the registry entries are missing. I've reinstalled windows since the original install, so it makes sense that they're missing. I can only find my broodwars cd, co reinstalling the game isn't an option. If someone could export their sc registry entries and email them to me (pm me first), i'd greatly appreciate it. thanks :)

edit: fyi, other than patching, having no registry entries works just fine

This is all you need IIRC (edit paths appropriately):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Blizzard Entertainment\Starcraft]
"InstallPath"="D:\\Games\\Starcraft"
"Program"="D:\\Games\\Starcraft\\Starcraft.exe"
"StarEdit"="D:\\Games\\Starcraft"
"StarCD"="H:"
"Retail"="y"
"Brood War"="y"
