    so i just got my 1530 yesterday and i tried to install starcraft but for some reason, i click run the exe and nothing happens. when i eject the cd THEN the it will say like installation has failed or something like that. i think this is more of a vista issue than the 1530? anyone know a way to install it? sorry if its in the wrong section. thanks! :eek:

    Right-click the executable, select the Compatibility tab and set the .exe to run in compatibility mode for XP.
