Note to a couple of personal E-Mails that I have gotten: The No Cd by r4363d17 is NOT the one I mailed in. The reason you are getting the message that the two .reg files included with the zip are not working is because they were made in (what looks like) Wordpad. Win98 Regedit4 can't recognize this format. Most who have Win2000 and the like with Reg Edit 5 can .

To explain what I mean, if you open the .reg files with Notepad (NOT Wordpad) you will see text with a bunch of dots, dashes, and spaces that are used mainly for reference by Wordpad. Regedit4 cannot recognize this. Just try opening the .reg file(s) (with Notepad) to see what I mean. The text will be correct without all the extra mess only if you open the same file with Wordpad.

To get things working correctly open the file(s) with Wordpad (you should see no dots or dashes. Go ahead and make any needed changes/modifications to the Drive and Directory entries now. Note:**be sure to delete the Regedit 5 text at the top and replace it with regedit4**), click the "select all" option from the edit menu and copy everything from here to a Notepad .txt file. After this you should save over the .reg file(s) with the save as command (in Notepad)....Go down to the "files of type" and click the scroll down arrow until you see the "all files" option. You should now be able to the the see the .reg file to save over and replace.

Personal Recommendation/Note: Besides being in in Wordpad format, the .reg files in r4363d17s no cd zip are rather short, and it looks like they leave out a thing or two necessary to boot things up. Use the .reg file from Jetlees No cd loader zip (right below r4363d17s instead). I used the "storm.dll" from r4363d17s file and the .reg file from Jetlees file (modified of course) to get things running.

Important notes to remember:

Make sure you modify ALL entries in the .reg file(s) to reflect your installation paths by scrolling down through the entire file.

You MUST have the "Install.exe" copied from your Starcraft/Broodwar CD to your installation directory (make sure you are using the right .exe depending on which one you are playing.)

The "storm.dll" from the r4363d17 No Cd MUST be allowed to override/overwrite the original.

This is a given, but i'll go ahead and put it in. If at any time you goof, or overwrite the .reg file(s) with Wordpad you will run into the "not a registry file" when you click on it again....Use Notepad to make a normal .txt file.

A good way to recognize files made between the 2 is size. The Wordpad files will be much larger, roughly 130+kb (dots and dashes used by Wordpad take up a LOT of room). The Notepad file(s) will be 3kb with the exact same info.
