    How do i get Single Player maps to work?
    Select the Single Player map you wish to play then launch as usual. Once SC is loaded, click single player, then choose a name that has completed all 3 missions. If you haven't completed them press enter and type "there is no cow level" for each level to complete them. Then you are ready to play.

    Starcraft Keeps crashing what do i do?
    Click Options in UltimatePatch and drag the Mode bar to the far right and make sure the Path to Starcraft is correct. (this will take away your ability to switch)

    what is a mod, and how do i use them?
    A mod makes a change to the game, for example a mod could be something like the Money for Nothing mod where there is no need to mine any resources because everything is free. Using a Mod is just like using a different map, you just choose the mod and go through the normal process. Just make sure if your playing the mod on multiplayer every person in the game is using the same mod otherwise those who arn't will drop from the game.

    Why do people drop from the game?
    This happens when people do not have the same map or mod set as the creator of the game. If you join a game with the wrong map or mod on you will drop and it will appear that everyone else dropped.

    What is UMS?
    UMS is short for Use Map Settings, for more info on UMS click Here

    How do i play a UMS map?
    To play a UMS Map you must choose a UMS map from the UMS Game Type. Only people using UltimatePatch and have the exact same Map and Mod settings as you can play UMS with you.

    How do i play a Melee map?
    To play a Melee Map (The default type that you can play in EZloader and other patches) you must choose a Melee map from the Melee Game type. You can also play single player and UMS maps as melee however none of the preset settings in the map will work eg. the Preset settings in Zerg BGH is you start with Zerg. If you are on Zerg BGH v3 or Zerg and Terran BGH v3, you can join and play normal BGH games without dropping You cannot play Melee maps as UMS or single player maps.

    Help Starcraft won't Launch
    The most likely reason for this is if you get "Cannot Find "C:\program................" This means that the path to starcraft in UltimatePatch's Options is incorrect. To correct this click Options Then Browse and find "Starcraft.exe". If your not sure where you installed Starcraft Shareware search "Starcraft.exe" using the windows Find Files and Folders tool.
    If you are 100% sure you have the correct path to starcraft and it still won't launch it may be it didn't install correctly, in which case you should try install again and try if at all possible to use the default install path.
    Failing this Try UltimatePatch on EZloader mode by dragging the Mode bar in the Options window to the far left. Still failing this try redownloading and installing.
    Finally if it still won't work email me at the email address below with details of your Operating System, Error Messages, What exactly you did, what you have tried, and weather it works with other patches.

    Starcraft Crashes when i play as zerg
    Whenever you play as Zerg in Starcraft Shareware make sure when first enter the game you push F10, choose Options, choose Sound, then make sure all the boxes are unchecked.

    What does "name it" mean
    the creator of the game will ask you to name it to check to see if you have the patch. cause if you don't you will drop from the game. In UltiamtePatch naming it is simple just press F11, and a message will appear stating your patch, map and mod.

    How do i change map, mod or game type
    Alt+Tab out of starcraft, change your settings and press Launch or Switch, depending on what is displayed.

    I get a hklib.dll error message when i start UltimatePatch
