[ros-dev] Starcraft Setup BSODs due to KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

[Richard Campbell]

On a side note, starcraft only uses very basic directdraw 
functionality.  It was designed to work with Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 
95 with even crappy video card drivers.  It won't take much to get a 
version without the cd check at least partially working, if it doesn't 
already.
