How to Install Starcraft in Vista
If you have a copy of the old game Starcraft, you will run into difficulty trying to run it on your Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine. This is because the operating systems changed quite a lot between Windows XP and Windows Vista, particularly in the way they handle graphics. To get Starcraft to run on Windows Vista you must install it from the disc and then change the compatibility settings.
