Though Its not exactly alot of help, I have this same problem whenever I either use Task Manager or Alt-F4 to close SC. If I exit the game normally, not just logging out of bnet, but using the Exit option in the game, then I never have the problem. Funny how this is the only game that gives me this problem...

Hello all, I'm impressed with this website, but until now have been nothing but a lurker. I have alot of experience with Win2k from work, But until now I've always used 98SE at home. I just loaded Win2k Pro, and while trying to load all my games back up, I've had ALOT of problems, hence this post. As of right now, I've only tried to install 2 of my Frequently Played games, and have listed the problems associated with each: Diablo 2 - I get this installed successfully, but upon going to the main startup screen (the "campfire menu") the choppiness of the flames, etc is HORRIBLE. In 98 this was fixed by installing DirectX 6 (which is on the CD) but upon trying to do so, it tells me that "Installing DirectX is not available in Windows 2000." Starcraft - I cant even get this game installed. As simple a game as this is, you'd think it would'nt have any problems, but about halfway through installing the game (not the expansion) the system consistantly reboots. My system: Pentium II 450 256 MB PC100 Ram Iwill VD133 Motherboard SB PCI128 Sound Voodoo 5 5500 Video Adaptec 2930B SCSI controller with a Plextor 8/20 CDR attached Generic CDROM The drivers for the video card are the ones that initaially came with the CD from the Video card (3dfx tools.) Every other driver so far is the generic PnP drivers from the OS. I'm willing to try any suggestions/tricks everyone can give me toward this. I'd like to use 2k at home, but if I cant get my games up and running I'll just have to go back to '98. Thanks in advance for any help, Chris (AustinJrock)

Thanks Spaceman, I'm going to try all of this tonight; hopefully I'll have some luck. I appreciate the suggestions. And to Eddie: If that came across as a complaint post, then you SEVERELY misread/misinterpreted the post. [This message has been edited by AustinJrock (edited 26 February 2001).]
