Ok I've been trying to obtain W-Mode for about the last hour, but I can't find any sort of link anywhere that will piont me in the right direction. I have chaos, but the w-mode plugin won't transfer over to my folder for some retarded reason, so I can't get it that way, and all the other ways seemed ridiculously complex to me. Is there something that I can do to get it despite my comp's retardedness?

I thought the newest version of Chaos came with the W-mode plugin. Is your Chaos up to date?
Race
it does have the version of w-mode

He said that he has Chaos Launcher - just that he can not get the windowed mode plug-in to work.

Have you tried running StarCraft in a virtual machine? A large number of virtual machines (I used VMWare at the time) run in a separate window. You could use that to obtain a pseudo windowed mode when playing it in fullscreen through the VM.

My friend that plays SC over Linux uses this method to get it working - and it also gives him the benefit of having a windowed SC.

Hope this helped! wink.gif

Can you tell me where to get that?

If you're running under Windows, you can use their Virtual PC Wizard that is currently free of charge. You can get it here: Windows VM

Have you tried reinstalling it with a clean install?
