    I just installed and got some problems. The game is running in 16 bits messed up colors >_>.
    Is it linked to the 2D rendering problems the Radeon 5xxx have? Anyone experienced?

    Starcraft or Starcraft 2?

    Just played my first game last night for Starcraft 2 on my G73 with no issues.

    Windows 7 x64
    ATI 8.74 Drivers

    The original game does not officially support Windows 7 I think, but if any version does it would be the one you can download from battle.net after you register your disk version.

    I play starcraft (The brood war) with Windows 7 and it works fine just with messy colours. To fix this, I simply terminate explorer.exe and then run the game. After playing, just re-run explorer.exe

    If it's starcraft 2... >.> Can't help you there sorry I want the beta myself too
