video woes:HELP
Using a normal ISP connection via the internal modem, Starcraft won't log in to Battlenet. It gets as far as letting you click on Battle.net (in the multi player options). It then either returns you back to the same screen after a few seconds (without so much as an error message) or it hangs with a black screen.
