These sound like they may be issues with your computer and/or your connection. It might be that you need to reinstall Starcraft, or even reinstall Windows. Beyond that, couldn't tell you. > > 3.

The way I always do it is click to the upper left of them, then click drag down across them to enclose them all in the rectangle. Then right-click a mineral patch and you're done. > 4. How do you do the tank drop on the ledge thing? You do know you can click the unload button and then click the exact place you want it to unload, right? Just keep clicking around until you find a spot it's willing to unload. > 5. When launching an attack, what should be targeted? > So you get an army going, and ready to attack.

The problem with attacking specific objects is that your guys will attack that object and ONLY that object--which means something else can come up behind them and kill them and they won't even try to defend themselves. Ideally you should click attack and then click the ground right in front of what you want them to attack. That way they'll come right up to that location, then start shooting at whatever is nearest. And there's no rule of thumb about what's best to attack; it depends on the situation. If you can get a strike in on his gatherers early on, it will really cripple him--but will only be mildly annoying if he's already time to build up a few thousand resources. -- Chris Meadows aka | WWW: http://www.terrania.us | Somebody Robotech_Master | ICQ: 5477383 AIM: RoboMastr | help, I'm robotec...@gmail.com | Skype, LJ-Gizmo: Robotech_Master | trapped in robo...@eyrie.org | Yahoo: robotech_master_2000 | a sig file!
