Two problems 1# Can't run disk utility from the start up disk. Will run a little and will state it lost communication with my HD. (running repair permissions) I can run disk utility from the desk top (running repair permissions) I have run DiskWarror and no problems found. #2 I have played Warcraft III on my computer. (listed below in signature) HD went bad, replaced HD, and now the install will work, but the Warcraft III alias will come up as a blank piece of paper? Clicked on alias, CRASH!!! no Warcraft. Clicked on icon in WarCraft folder, CRASH!! Trashed everything, started over. Same thing. Running StarCraft no problem. Thanks for the advice! PTL David M.
