Title: Error message
Post by: Hikaru Shu on September 21, 2005, 06:06:58 AM

I downloaded the file BW-113e.exe from www.blizzard.com using Mozilla Firefox.  This file is the latest update to Starcraft Broodwar.  When I tried to install it, a strange message came up.

Also, when I press the X, it comes up with a fatal error message for the program.
Also, when I try to delete or move the program from my desktop, it says it is in use by another person or program.  I tried downloading the file again with IE, and it worked fine, what's wrong with my old file?

Try updating the game through Battle.Net instead of manually downloading a patch.

I can't see the error message either. It's too small.

ERROR: An Extended Memory Manager is already installed.

And the rest is garbage. You can see it better if you zoom the page. Crtl + Mouse Wheel

Doesn't seem to apply to Firefox.
