Game: Starcraft - Brood War, from Blizzard. So here is the errror that comes
up when I try to connect to multiplayer mode on Battle.net

Brood War: Windows Application Error
The instruction at 0x760b5960 referenced memory at 0x6667677f.
The memory could not be read.

Only option is to close at that point. As far as single player mode it works
fine with not crashes or errors. Before I say more heres what ive done so
far. Look up countless support pages and FAQ's from the deveoplers to no
avail. Ive un-installed and re-installed, patched manually countless times
and changed install locations. Compatibily settings are to developers
requierments. All drivers for video, sound and network are up to date. Ive
flushed the DNS, cleared all temp files, ran a sfc under admin rights. Also
have ran ad aware, Anti malware and Norton to see if its a virus or spyware
issue, all come back clean. All are also up to date. Anyways heres a part of
the game error log. 12 entries are in the log total but after a looooong look
each is the same so ill post the first one.

So can anyone figure this Issue out, it would be a great help. Played this
game years and years ago but still its No.1 in my book an would like to be
able to play multi-player again.

Thanks for any information or help...

Not sure if any of that will help out to track down the problem. Also have
set router and firewall to let traffic thru for this game on is ports, but
still get the error after selecting the multiplyer mode on the Blizzard
server.

Could this be an Issue with the DEP since it handles memmory for programs.
Have tried to set DEP to let starcraft: broodwar manage memory on its own but
it would allow it. Is there a work around for it or could it be something
else?

By-the-way could I get a MVP to look into this or give any insight on this
issue besides the malware,spyware or virus awnsers that ive already done?
