Hi everyone,

i have a mac mini core duo.

So lately i've had the itch to play starcraft again, and everything worked fine when i restored the starcraft folder from time machine. But the problem is whenever starcraft is in full screen, it slows down considerably. the speed is bearable, but is annoying because it makes moving the cursor (and everything else in general) very difficult. in windowed mode, starcraft runs normally, and there is no unusual lag. it's only when i play in full screen mode. this has never happened in the past.

now i suspect that it has something to do with the fact that i restored it from time machine. i tried "uninstalling" starcraft by deleting the folder and reinstalling, but the lag does not go away (neither did the settings). my questions are: 1) how do i completely uninstall starcraft? will completely uninstalling and reinstalling help? 2) how do i fix the lag?

any help is appreciated. thanks!
