Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

EditTips

  • If you create a shortcut for Starcraft.exe, you MUST run the shortcut as an Administrator, unless the Starcraft folder is on your desktop.
  • People suggest that you kill the process "explorer.exe" but i don't recommend that because you have to do it every time you play then you have to restart it.
  • You should only end the explorer.exe process in your task manager if none of the above works
