| + | # Edit <code>ResSettings.ini</code> and change these lines to the desired resolution:<br><code>ScreenWidth0=640</code><br><code>ScreenHight0=480</code> | ||

| + | # If you get an error message that StarCraft isn't installed properly, go to the folder where <code>Starcraft.exe</code> is located. Create a file called <code>scfix.vbs</code> and paste the following text into it: | ||
