StarCraft
The game I've always had installed since release, own multiple copies due to lost cd keys. Now StarCraft 2 is delayed into 2010. I still play SC online and LAN with some friends. Many operating systems have come and gone since its release, and the latest (and greatest in my opinion) release of Windows 7 is coming up! So, what's the deal? What does this have to do with StarCraft? Well... when running StarCraft on Windows 7, it looks like someone grabbed a bit much LSD. The colors are so screwed up, but there's a fix for it. It's pretty hackish, and even works on other games like Worms. You turn off Explorer. Here's how:
Open up notepad paste this into it, edit the location of StarCraft ala C:\"Program Files"\Starcraft\Starcraft.exe
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
C:\Games\Starcraft\Starcraft.exe
start explorer.exe
Go to save, select All File Types and make sure the filename ends with .bat! Now when you exit the game, explorer starts up again.

I am running multiple operating systems on my machine, when doing work, I prefer Ubuntu. This is pretty much my standard desktop for it. I would love to buy a laptop, so I can take my work with me to meetings. I don't know about you, but I find it rather discomforting to use someone else's PC. Anyway, here it is!
