StarCraft fix holy cow!

Sure, everyone is having the color issue. I fixed that a long time ago. The question now is why starcraft is choppy for me, on any computer I use, except for my laptop that has 1.3 ghz and 1 gb of ram, RUNNING windows 7 Ultimate RTM.

I have installed chipset drivers, I have installed video drivers from nvidia's site, I've gone to windows basic, and it still doesn't cut it.

ECS GF8200A v 1.0
AMD Athlon 7750 Dual-Core Processor @ 2.7 Ghz
nVidia GeForce 9500 GT 1 gb PCIe x16
4 gb RAM DDR2
1 TB Hitachi SATA II Hard Drive

how did you fix the colour issue???? can you tell me please...... what programs you running in the background when your playing Starcraft??

The only thing running in the background while playing starcraft: Avast antivirus. That's about it.

PS and make sure you disconnect your net hey you never know virus can get in good luck

Turning off Avast does not solve it.
I do not use gadgets.

update: it seems to work for me now regardless of what runs in the background, I suspect that one of the windows updates might have fixed it, or it was really the nvidia chipset/gpu drivers.

have you installed all windows updates? there was one specifically adressing crashes in older applications...

found this in another forums. solved my problem...
unzip the files into starcraft folders, and run the gaming by using the newly added StartcraftFix.exe

You're kidding right? That's an explorer killer, much like batch files.

You didn't read my other post. I said everything is up to date. I'm not going to look through services again. Waste of time, especially when most services have specific functions that make windows 7 what it is.
