Okay, I am an idiot, but I think I know what to do thanks to the above link. Only question is which file do I edit, and once I am in the file where? Please excuse my noobness. I don't play many PC games but I wanted to experience SC2 in it's visually enhanced form. I grew up with the 3DO version.

No, not an idiot. How many people know how to create or edit batch files? You're normal. It's the rest of us who are just freaks
Hopefully somebody can correct me if I'm wrong. Sort of doing this from memory.
Go to your game directory.
I believe there's a uqm1280.bat? If you have extensions hidden, it would just look like
uqm1280.
No idea if this works in Vista.
Right click over the
uqm1280 file, and select
Edit.
Replace the text with:
uqm.exe -f -o -r 1280x800
File, Save. Double Click the uqm1280.bat file.

I did as instructed and did it correctly but the game runs very slow as a result. What now?
By the way thanks for being so helpful.
Edit: Just saw that you mentioned the slowness in the other thread. In my experience the slowdown makes the game unplayable.

Sorry then. There's nothing I can do for you until we get the beta out. Good news is it looks like it may only be a couple weeks.

Not a problem. I can wait a few more weeks. I just played and completed the 3DO version so I got my SC2 fix. With the game fresh in my mind playing the enhanced version will be epic.

Eagerly awaiting this. I just introduced my kid to "Ur-Quan Masters", and she's loving it. This mod promises to knock her socks off, but the best resolution her computer can manage is 1440x900.
I have extensive experience in C programming. Is there any way I can help?
