    downloading maps

    Maybe you don't have the proper ports opened. Are you behind a router or firewall? You need to open ports 6112-6119 TCP and UDP in/out.

    MPG to VOB / IFO?

    I assume it gave you an MPEG2, so at this point you would have to author the DVD using some authoring software, and then you could burn it. I don't know which authoring apps are good nowadays, but I'm sure you could find a good freeware one if you look around. Personally I just use WinAVI which...

    BroodWar Crashes To Desktop

    Post your system specs using Belarc. Make sure you take out the serial numbers. Here's what I'm thinking - I believe the file smackw32.dll has something to do with the in-game videos. That's why I asked if you had installed any codecs recently. Maybe some software installed on your computer is...

    Am I getting the most out of my graphics card?

    unreadable CD-key and uninstalled program

    unreadable CD-key and uninstalled program

    No. CDs are all the same, they aren't attached to the CD-Key, which means you can use any CD-Key on any CD. So, if the game is uninstalled and you lost the CD-Key, you either buy the game again or get a replacement from Blizzard, which costs 10$. Check here
