WIN7開啟星海1畫面問題 解決方法

 Three-step fix:
  1. Right click the Starcraft icon -> Properties -> Compatibility tab
    在星海的icon上面按下右鍵->內容->相容性
  2. Check ALL the Settings, but do NOT check Compatibility Mode
    勾選所有的設定,但是呢,「以相容模式執行這個程式」的選項不要勾選!
  3. When you are ready to play, right click your desktop and click “Screen Resolution”. Leave this window open. Now launch Starcraft!
    宇宙無敵神奇的步驟要來了 LOL !!!!
    當你準備要玩星海爭霸時,請在桌面上按下右鍵,然後點選螢幕解析度,然後
    「螢幕解析度」這個視窗不要關掉,最後執行遊戲。
    我的媽壓,竟然顏色正常。
    有誰可以去問一下暴風雪這是在做甚麼嗎??

※ 我到現在還是不知道為什麼,這種古怪方法竟然可行,顏色跟win98時代跑起來一樣

How to run WP8 Emulator under VMware 9.

Since I use Win 7 and I don't want to try Win 8 Pro right now, so I tried to install VMware 9 and using to install Win 8 Pro.

If you go straight and you will encounter the followings error when you start WP8 emulator:
1. ".......Generic error"
2. "Unable to start........"

There are two problems in this situation:
1. Running WP8 Emulator requires Hyper-V function but VMware default is turned off.
2. No. of processors.

Solution:
1. Add line in your vm guest's vmx file (config file)
 hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”
 vhv.enable = "true"
2. Define 2 processors in guest vm
