Thanks Edwin and Hubert, Was just returning to say that I'd solved the problem by doing just that a moment or two ago. Just goes to show ....updating to Vista without actually understanding how it works properly can be a right pain. Ah well time to open the Vista manual and working out how to enable the desktop icon. Many thanks all Mick

Nope Hubert Only have the one installation. Tried opening the game from all relevant icons, desktop, the one in programs and the one in the directory itself. Then did a complete uninstall and reloaded. V1 works fine but as soon as I patch 1.06 I get 'sc2.ini could not find #RESEARCH=' Even tried saving the patch on download before installing rather than doing an auto run but did not made diddly squat difference. Ah well I can always stick with V1 Best wishes Mick

Right so I am using Vista. Original SC2 v1.00 works fine but when I load in v1.06 and attempt to start I get the following message 'sc2.ini could not find #RESEARCH=' What is a real puzzlement is it loads fine the first time if I do the automatic launch after immediately installing the 1.06 patch before hitting the finish button. The problem occurs when I try to start the game from the desktop icon. Assistance with the above would be much appreciated. In addition on going into the multiplayer screen my WAN IP address is not listed. The only address that is listed is the 192.68.x.x. which is no use at all. I'm sure that this issue has been covered many many times before but would be grateful for an appropriate link or two.

Can someone kindly confirm whether or not LAN is supported in Multiplayer mode or is it just Internet? Many thanks
